Honoring Vietnam Veterans

Today at VA Fresno, our Associate Director of Patient Care Services (ADPCS), Chief Nurse Executive Mike Bethel and Deputy ADPCS Laura Andrade joined Vietnam Veteran Hughie Johnson on the front steps of our facility to honor those who served during the Vietnam War. In a moment of reflection, they laid a wreath at the Vietnam War Memorial on our front steps, pausing to recognize the courage and sacrifice of a generation of Veterans.

Observed annually on March 29th, Vietnam Veterans Day was established to honor the men and women who served during one of the longest conflicts in U.S. history. More than 2.7 million Americans served in Vietnam.

We are proud to honor their legacy and ensure their service is never forgotten. Welcome home, and thank you for your service.
