Photo of the Week: More Than 20 Danville Residents Honored for Service in Vietnam

About 100 people attended an event in Danville Sunday, April 18, honoring Vietnam War Veterans.

About 100 people gathered at the Danville Community Center Sunday, April 18, to pay tribute to 23 Danville residents who served in the Vietnam War.

The event, attended by the Danville town council as well as other local and state officials, was inspired by an idea Mayor Mike Doyle and councilmember Newell Arnerich had about six months ago. Mayor Doyle said they felt "it was about time these men and women from the Vietnam era were recognized."

See photos from the event, including this one showing one veteran with the flag and certificates he received, and read the full story, here.
