Press Releases

Leeds, NY – U.S. Rep. Marc Molinaro (NY-19) today announced he will host a pinning ceremony for Vietnam War Veterans on August 16 from 3pm to 4pm in Greene County. This will be the first of two pinning ceremonies and is a part of Rep. Molinaro’s August Action Plan.

Rep. Molinaro will present veterans with a pin recognizing their service. This event is open to all Vietnam veterans and their families. In order to be recognized for your service, veterans must RSVP here or call Rep. Molinaro’s Leeds District Office at (518) 625-2100 to sign up. 

Rep. Molinaro said, "Unlike veterans of previous wars, when many Vietnam veterans returned home, they were met with indifference, hostility, or even outright protest. That’s why whenever I meet a Vietnam veteran, I make it a point to say thank you. And it’s why, I’m proud to host this event as part of my August Action Plan. We will be honoring those who served in Vietnam and giving them the recognition they deserve.”
