Georgia honors Vietnam Veterans
An estimated 234,000 Georgians are Vietnam War veterans.
In conjunction with the 50th Anniversary Commemoration of the Vietnam War, the Georgia Department of Veterans Service, in partnership with the Office of Governor Nathan Deal, has created the Vietnam War Certificate of Honor Program for these veterans.
“We hope to eventually present every Georgia Vietnam veteran with a Certificate of Honor recognizing their service,” said Commissioner Mike Roby. “It is never the wrong time to say thank you to a veteran, and that is especially true for so many Vietnam veterans who were never properly thanked when they returned home.”
Every Georgia veteran with honorable service during the Vietnam War is eligible to receive this certificate. (This includes veterans with service in-country and those who served in other capacities.)
Each certificate is personalized with the Vietnam War veteran’s name, rank, branch of service, and dates of service printed over the Seal of the State of Georgia and includes the official U.S. Department of Defense’s Vietnam War Commemorative Partner logo. They are signed by Governor Deal and Commissioner Roby.
For more information on this program and other veterans’ benefits, contact your County Representative, Del Parisella, manager of the Douglas Veterans Field Service Office, at (912) 389-4898.
Additional information is also available at veterans.ga.gov/vietnam.
