The dedication of the final phase of the Vietnam Bench will be held at 11 a.m. on November 11, at the Historic John D. Bassett Event Center in Bassett. The bench and ceremony are to honor veterans of the Vietnam Conflict.
Local veterans were honored for their service during the Vietnam Conflict when a small version of the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C. was installed in Bassett. The wall there is located on the grounds of the Bassett Historical Center. Its dedication took place on November 11, 2018.
The 105 veterans who missed the deadline to have their names included on the wall will be honored by the installation of a bench that complements the existing Vietnam Wall.
The “Military Square,” which is located on the grounds of the Bassett Historical Center, will be completed with the Vietnam Wall, Vietnam Bench, and Korean Conflict Bench.
You are invited to join the ceremony at 11 a.m. on November 11, as the Vietnam Bench is dedicated as part of the annual Veteran’s Day Service.
