Honoring Our Vietnam Veterans


This Saturday, March 29th, we pause to honor and thank our Vietnam Veterans and their families for their service, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to our country.

To our brothers and sisters who served during the Vietnam War — and to the families who stood beside them — we offer our heartfelt gratitude. Your courage and commitment will never be forgotten.

The Elks have always stood strong in our support for veterans, and today we renew that promise: You are remembered. You are appreciated. You are honored.

Welcome home and thank you for your service,
SA Elks and the Veterans Committee.
