In Red Bluff, California Legionnaires came together with others for a service to honor Vietnam veterans in a service that included a moment of silence in honor of those who died during the war.
“Extremely proud when you see the people come out that you served during that period of time because there are so many young people today that don t even know what the Vietnam war is, American Legion Post 167 Legionnaire Preston Epperson told Action News Now. And it makes you proud when you can see people come out and still salute the flag.”
