All the events were total successes. Our objectives of honoring the veterans and recognizing the support of family was met. There were many thanks from the veterans, family, and staff. We were able to quickly adapt to add any veterans that were previously not prepared for (asked facilities for lists in advance) - patients and staff. Many told stories and were moved by the recognition. We also partnered with local American Legion posts to have them come volunteer to do the actual pinnings. The only issue that came up was making sure that there was enough space for attendees and for the veterans to maneuver around in order to make it to the red carpet. We did also have some issues with music connecting to the bluetooth device. Having the lyrics to the songs was good, even though the songs were very familiar. Advice is to make sure that ceremonies are far apart timewise within a given day for set up, clean up, and time to interact with the attendees. Used lapel pins and certificates still in stock.

Each event includes food and beverage, playing of taps and the National Anthem, a recognition speech, and a pinning ceremony. Vietnam Veterans are provided with the 50th Anniversary Commemorative Pin and Presidential Proclamations. Additional materials are not needed as we have unused materials from other events.
