Veterans Day Open House & Presentation

Open house for Veterans and families from 1-4pm

Special Vietnam slideshow at 2pm presented by Dennis Proulx
 

Members of the Taunton Area Vietnam Veterans Association will share a slideshow presentation and memories of their experiences during the Vietnam War. They will also bring military memorabilia as well as items from their time in Vietnam, including a Montagnard crossbow and sword, shrapnel from a 122mm rocket, and a piece of a Skycrane helicopter. The Taunton Area Vietnam Veterans Association (TAVVA) will never let anyone forget the sacrifices made by those that served their country in Vietnam. This program is a wonderful way of remembering "those that gave some and those that gave all.”
 

TAVVA is a non-profit organization. Based in Taunton Massachusetts, it was officially founded in January of 1983 by five Vietnam Veterans and one Korean Veteran. Many months prior to this date a great deal of time was spent on writing a list of purposes around which the group was built. The following is a list of the TAVVA's purposes and goals: To improve the conditions for Vietnam Veterans, to promote positive education for all on Vietnam and its Veterans, to assist the needs of our members and their families whenever possible, to provide Vietnam Veterans representation at area meetings and ceremonies when required or requested, and to insure the continuing remembrance of our fallen brothers and sisters and those still listed as M.I.A.'s.

This event is free and open to the public. All are invited to join us.
