Littleton Elks Lodge #1650 honors Vietnam veterans

A dozen Vietnam Veterans were honored with dinner and presentation on Vietnam Veterans Day March 29 at the Littleton Elks Lodge #1650 by the Americanism and Veterans committees. Each vet was introduced, presented with pins by other veterans, and were able to talk about their experiences and feelings.

“I loved the way the veterans took ownership of the event, from introductions to the prayer,” said Kim Garcia, chairperson of Americanism committee. “Some shared their stories with the group, and the interaction amongst them was heartwarming”.

Here are some Vietnam Veterans from the Littleton Elks #1650 Lodge that attended the dinner and presentation on March 29.
