During the Vietnam War Veterans Day ceremony conducted at Camp Casey Plaza, Korea, on March 25, 2021, Legionnaires of Lewis L. Millet Post 38 were awarded the Vietnam Veteran lapel pin. Albert Deloney, a charter member of Post 38, was given permission to attend by the medical staff of his nursing home. Deloney, sitting in his wheelchair, was presented the pin by Command Sgt. Maj. Jason Hathaway, who presided over the event. Pins were also presented to Legionnaires David Hill and Gasper Delise.
The Vietnam Veteran lapel pin is a "A Lasting Memento of the Nation's Thanks" for living U.S. veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the period of Nov. 1, 1955, to May 15, 1975, regardless of location. Throughout National Vietnam War Veterans Day, we recognize the service and duty rendered by all servicemen and women of this era.
