Local community gathers to pay tribute to those who served during the Vietnam War
A solemn ceremony honoring Vietnam War veterans took place last Sunday at Memorial Park in Old Pasadena. The Pasadena Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day Commemoration, held March 30, brought together veterans, their families, and community members to recognize the service and sacrifice of those who served during the Vietnam War era.
“On behalf of Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 446, and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Martin Severance Chapter thank you for joining us this afternoon for the Pasadena Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day Commemoration at Memorial Park,” said former Pasadena Mayor William Paparian, who served on active duty in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and continues to serve today as a Captain in the California State Guard and as a Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney.
