SCHENECTADY– Members of the Jewish War Veterans Schenectady Post 106 joined with other veterans in the community on March 29 to acknowledge National Vietnam War Veterans Day at the Schenectady County Vietnam Veterans War memorial at the Schenectady Community College.

The Vietnam War Recognition Act of 2017 designates every March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

The Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that today there are over 7 million U.S. Vietnam Veterans living stateside and abroad, along with nearly 10 million families of those who served.
