The state has established March 29 of each year as a special day to honor Vietnam veterans. As part of the local recognition program, area veterans are organizing a photo display from Freeborn County Vietnam era veterans who were assigned to military units throughout the world in any branch of service in support of military operations between 1960 and 1975.

At the same time, a display of Freebom County Women in Military Service will be presented. The displays and photos are intended to provide recognition to these women who, throughout history, have served with particular sacrifice and achievement.

Both displays will kick off on Sunday with a breakfast at the American Legion Post 56 hosted by the Freebom County Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 447 and will continue on Sunday, March 28, with a breakfast hosted by American Legion Post 56.

Local veteran organizations organizing the recognition and display events are the Freebom County Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 447, the American Legion Post 56, and the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 16.
