Gov. Henry Proclaims

2010 Year of the Vietnam Veteran
November 05, 2009

 

Oklahoma City — As the nation prepares to honor its veterans next Wednesday, Gov. Brad Henry is issuing a proclamation declaring that 2010 will be the Year of the Vietnam Veteran.

Gov. Henry praised the courage and commitment of Vietnam veterans.   “It is important to honor the sacrifices made by all our veterans,” he said. “It is especially appropriate, however, that we do so for the men and women who served with distinction and valor in Vietnam, but were denied such praise upon their return home.”

Oklahoma’s Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Myles Deering, agreed that Vietnam veterans deserve special recognition for their tremendous service and sacrifice.  “The thousands of American men and women who served in Vietnam never received the praise they so richly deserved,” said Maj. Gen. Deering,  “I hope over the next year Oklahomans from all over our great state will join the Governor and me and say thank you to these honorable citizens who live and work next to us every day. Our Vietnam veterans are among the most patriotic Americans, and they continually support the men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their dedicated and continuous support means a lot to our fighting men and women in uniform today. Oklahoma’s Vietnam Veterans have been among the Oklahoma National Guard’s biggest supporters and we are glad that during the coming year we will have the opportunity to thank them for all they have done for our nation.”

His sentiments were echoed by Oklahoma Secretary of Veterans Affairs Norman Lamb., “We are doing a good thing, honoring our Vietnam Veterans. It is long overdue,” he said. “It pleases me that Oklahoma as a State honors its heroes.”
