Title
A recent ceremony honoring Vietnam Veterans in Lower Manhattan
Description
On March 29 2019, a special ceremony was in lower Manhattan to honor Vietnam Veterans, as well those lost post 9/11. The event is produced annually by the United War Veterans Council, where names of veterans are read by volunteers and family members. An attendee describes their experience at the ceremony: "'Hearing the name read aloud ... It's almost cathartic sometimes. It brings emotions, tears. It's the remembrance: Nobody wants to be forgotten. That's the worst thing that could ever happen,' said Molly Levi, an event organizer."
