You’re Invited: 15th Annual Vietnam Veterans’ Day Ceremony

March 25, 2023 | 1pm | Tottenville High School

Senator Andrew Lanza invites you to Tottenville High School on Saturday, March 25th at 1pm to recognize the sacrifices of those who served in the Vietnam War at our 15th Annual Vietnam Veterans’ Day Ceremony.

In 2008, Senator Lanza and former Assemblyman Titone authored a law designating March 29th as Vietnam Veterans’ Day in the State of New York. On March 29, 1973, the last 2,500 troops were withdrawn from South Vietnam, thus ending military involvement in one of the longest wars in our Nation’s history.

Due to the unpopularity of this war, the men and women who survived and the 58,195 brave souls who fought and died, were never given the proper respect and gratitude they deserved for serving their country. Of the names listed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall, 4,120 are from the Great State of New York. Senator Lanza hosts the annual celebration of Vietnam Veterans Day to properly thank our veterans who fought bravely in Vietnam.

Any questions please call (718)-984-4073
