Those recognized during the ceremony served in the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force. This was the fifth 50th Commemoration Pinning Ceremony McBath has held for veterans of the Vietnam War since taking office in 2019.\n\n\u201cI was so grateful for another chance to honor so many of our Vietnam veterans today in this long overdue public recognition of thanks and gratitude,\u201d McBath said. \u201cOur country cannot stop at just gratitude, however. We must continue the hard work to make sure that promises made to veterans are fulfilled, and that the benefits our veterans earned are received.\u201d\n\nParticipating veterans were honored with a commemorative lapel pin and a certificate of special recognition.
