Color Guard Pass In Review
The Vietnam Women’s Memorial
15th Anniversary Commemoration

Vietnam Veterans of America is proud, once again, to be working in cooperation with the Vietnam Women’s Memorial Foundation in the planning of the commemoration of the dedication of this memorial.

VVA developed and organized the historic Color Guard Pass In Review Ceremony for the 10th Anniversary of VWM. It was recognized as a most dramatic, emotional and honorable observance.

On Veterans’ Day, November 11, 2008, VVA will be hosting the 15th Anniversary Color Guard Pass In Review. To register and be a part of this moving event please send an e-mail to: bwhitaker@vva.org. Include in your e-mail: Chapter #, Post # or group name; your location; contact information; number of individuals in your Color Guard. To review added details of this event along with formation location and time, check on the Women Veterans committee page.

Pass the word on to others you know.

NOTE: By order of Park Police, no weapons or replicas may be used.
