U.S. Rep. Diana Harshbarger honored more than 130 local Vietnam War veterans during a pinning ceremony held Monday afternoon at Annie Hogan Byrd Auditorium on the campus of Tusculum University.
“This means more to me than anything I will do in Congress. I’m continuing the tradition of my predecessor Phil Roe. These lapel pins are a token of gratitude from us for your service,” Harshbarger said.
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 received a lapel pin and a congressional commendation certificate in recognition of their service.
