Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger is pleased to announce she will be hosting four ceremonies in October across Tennessee’s First Congressional District to recognize and our honor our Vietnam veterans and their families for their sacrifice and distinguished service, with more to come in the following months. Congresswoman Harshbarger partnered with the U.S. Vietnam War Commemoration, a nationwide 50th anniversary recognition that began in 2012, to find and honor Vietnam era veterans for their service. As part of this, participating Vietnam veterans will receive a lapel pin and congressional commendation certificate in recognition of their service. Vietnam era veterans of the First Congressional District can register to participate on Congresswoman Harshbarger’s website.
