Vietnam War-era veterans and their families are being invited to Kentucky's first major event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the war.
The Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs says the event is set for 1 pm, CDT, September 25 at the Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Frankfort. The names of Kentucky's 1,103 fallen soldiers in Vietnam are carved into the base of the memorial.
Guests will include Gov. Steve Beshear, Medal of Honor recipient Don Jenkins and Joe Galloway, author of ``We Were Soldiers Once.''
The event is part of the national 50th Anniversary Vietnam War Commemoration, which runs from 2013 to 2025.
