Earlier this month, the Redmond Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) honored Vietnam veterans of the Trilogy at Redmond Ridge Veterans Club in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.

The NSDAR has partnered with the United States of America Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Commemoration, established by Congress to “Thank and honor veterans of the Vietnam War, including personnel who were held as prisoners of war (POW) or listed as missing in action (MIA), for their service and sacrifice on behalf of the United States and to thank and honor the families of these veterans.”

The program included the Civil Air Patrol Overlake Composite Squadron Color Guard, patriotic music, refreshments and the Vietnam veterans were presented a Presidential Proclamation as well as a Vietnam Veteran 50th Commemoration Pin.
