National Vietnam War Veterans Day
2020-03-30 | WA
NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY
National Vietnam War Veterans Day on March 29 honors the men and women who served and sacrificed during the longest conflict in United States history.
On March 29, 1973, combat and combat support units withdrew from South Vietnam. Generations later, Veterans of this time period are gaining the respect that was not so freely given upon their return. Involving five U.S. presidents, crossing nearly two decades and 500,000 U.S.military personnel, it left an indelible mark on the American psyche.
Returning veterans did not always receive respectful welcomes upon their arrival on American soil. Over 58,000 killed, never to return. The observance recognizes the military service of these men and women who answered the call to serve their country when she needed them. They didn’t make the decisions to go to war.
Throughout the observance, we recognize the service and duty rendered by all servicemen and women of this era.
HOW TO OBSERVE #VietnamWarVeteransDay
Around the country, commemorative events, speeches, and luncheons are being held inviting Vietnam Veterans as honored guests. Other ways to participate include:

Thank a Vietnam Veteran.
Buy them a drink or lunch.
Visit a local memorial. Volunteer to help organize events.
Support a veteran’s organization in your community. Volunteer and offer your skills.
Watch a Vietnam War documentary such as The Vietnam War: A Film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick or Last Days in Vietnam directed by Rory Kennedy or Vietnam Nurses by Timeline.
Read about the Vietnam War in books like Vietnam – A History by Stanley Karnow or They Marched into Sunlight: War and Peace, Vietnam and America, October 1967 by David Maraniss or The Quiet American by Graham Green and Robert Stone.

Memorial Day Remembrance
2020-05-25 | WA
The Community Military Appreciation Committee (CMAC), the City of Vancouver and the National Parks Service will be hosting a special Memorial Day program at 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Monday, May 25. The program, which is prepared in advance, will feature remarks by Larry Smith and Mike Burton from CMAC, Superintendent of the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site Tracy Fortmann, Mayor of Vancouver Anne McEnerny-Ogle and Meredith McMackin, a Gold Star Mother. The keynote speaker for the event will be General Donna Prigmore of the Oregon National Guard. The program will be available to watch on CVTV cable channel 23/323HD and on cvtv.org.
Music for the broadcast program will be provided by the 204th Army Band, Vancouver Fire Fighters Pipes and Drums, the Vancouver Police Department and the VFW Post 7824 Honor Guard.
“The coronavirus pandemic prevents us from gathering the year together as we normally would, but consistent with guidance from national, state and local public health authorities, we are safely observing Memorial Day. By videotaping speakers’ remarks this year from different location, we are responsibly doing our part for our community, our healthcare heroes, other front-line workers and first responders and those who are vulnerable,” Tracy Fortmann said in a news release.
CMAC co-chair Larry Smith said “the Memorial Day observance honors those who have given their lives for our country, and although (it’s) not the public event and living history re-enactment we have enjoyed in the past, we still have an opportunity to show our respect and support for the men and women of our armed forces.”
CMAC is an all-inclusive group composed of members representing youth, education, civic, military, veterans groups, and local governments. CMAC executes and plans community-wide events, such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Our Community Salutes, and POW/MIA Day ceremonies, as well as recognition and support of military families of all services.
As soon as it’s available we will post a link here to the Memorial Day video.

National CPR/AED Awareness Week
2020-06-01 - 2020-06-07 | WA
In 2007, the AHA in coalition with the American Red Cross and the National Safety Council worked collaboratively to designate a National CPR and AED Awareness Week federally. On December 13, 2007, Congress unanimously passed a resolution to set aside June 1-7 each year as National CPR and AED Awareness Week to spotlight how lives can be saved if more Americans know CPR and how to use an AED. Our campaign reinforces these skills but also places importance on the willingness of bystanders to act in a cardiac arrest emergency.

Flag Day
2020-06-14 | WA
