Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Celebration

The National Society of the American Revolution (DAR), founded in 1890 with the mission of promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism. The DAR Chapter of Washington County, PA is proud to partner with Humana to thank and honor Vietnam Veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice. We believe that one of the legacies of the Vietnam War Commemoration and our Welcome Home Ceremony will be the healing of our Vietnam Veterans and their family members.

Vietnam Veteran Pinning Ceremony

We welcome all to join the DAR and Humana as we recognize and honor our Vietnam Veterans that served on active duty in the United States Armed Forces at any time during November 1, 1955 through May 15, 1975, regardless of duty location. An official Vietnam War Commemoration lapel pin and certificate will be provided to each Vietnam Veteran on behalf of a grateful Nation and community.
