We could use your help to spread the word and also attend a new Reno event coming up on Saturday, March 30th, to honor and remember Vietnam War veterans.
The Vietnam War Veterans Remembrance Day and All Veterans Luncheon will be held at the Reno Events Center, located at 400 Center Street in downtown Reno.
The day begins at 10:00 AM with the doors to the Events Center opening to the public. A Remembrance Ceremony will be held at 11:00 AM with a ceremonial wreath being delivered by the Patriot Guard Riders. The Colors will be presented by the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter #989. The guest speaker will be Brigadier General Robert Hayes.
At 1:00 PM, there will be an “All Veterans Luncheon” which will recognize all veterans of all eras and include special guests including Congressman Mark Amodei. Tickets for the luncheon are $40.

The day will include a display of Vietnam era equipment, including a mobile Vietnam Museum and Huey helicopter. Donations for the helicopter fuel are still being sought! You may donate funds for a gallon of helicopter fuel or more by contacting VVAReno989@gmail.com
Veteran support organizations will be on hand to assist veterans filing for benefits and claims, medical outreach, employment educational opportunities and more.
All proceeds will benefit the Veterans Guest House, Honor Flight Nevada, and Northern Nevada State Veterans Home.
