Olney celebrating Vietnam vets

President Trump signed the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017, designating March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. Although this day is not an official holiday in the U.S., some of the citizens in Olney decided to host a commemorative ceremony to honor our local Vietnam veterans and their families. Please RSVP to join the celebration at the Olney Senior Cub Center Tuesday, March 29, at 11:30 a.m.
