VIETNAM VETERANS DAY EVENT
Uvalde County and American Legion post 479 requesting your presence, to attend our annual Vietnam Veterans Day event. This year we are starting at the Walmart parking lot at 0900 and starting to set up bike riders to ride across town to honor our Uvalde Vietnam veterans and especially our 13 fallen heroes that gave their all to this great country. We finish at the Veterans Memorial wall at the Fairplex on hwy 90 west where we have a short program where we read and ring a bell to remember the 13 veterans that were KIA during the Vietnam war. If possible, it will be an honor to have Patriot Guard Riders present thank you for all you do to honor our heroes. So, I hope some of you can make it.
