SENATOR LANZA & ASSEMBLYMAN TITONE HOSTING 8th ANNUAL VIETNAM VETERANS’ DAY CELEBRATION

       Senator Andrew Lanza and Assemblyman Matthew Titone will join veterans' and elected officials at Tottenville High School at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 17 to recognize the sacrifices of those who served in the Vietnam War at their eighth annual Vietnam Veterans’ Day Celebration.

          In 2008, Senator Lanza and Assemblyman Titone authored a new law which designated March 29th as Vietnam Veterans’ Day in the State of New York. On March 29th, 1973, the last 2,500 troops were withdrawn from South Vietnam, thus ending military involvement in one of the longest wars in our Nation’s history.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. Every year, Lanza and Titone host their annual celebration of Vietnam Veteran’s Day to properly memorialize our veterans who fought bravely in Vietnam.
