Army and Air Force Exchange Service employees, along with members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3176, present Jim Ashby, a retired Air Force Vietnam War veteran, a lapel pin and framed copy of the presidential proclamation commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of American combat operations in Vietnam during a ceremony March 29 at the Fort Leonard Wood Main Exchange. Every veteran attending the ceremony, who served between Nov. 1, 1955, and May 15, 1975 – commonly referred to as the Vietnam War era – regardless of location, received a pin and a copy of the proclamation as an act of appreciation for their service. Vietnam War-era veterans unable to attend the ceremony are invited to visit the Main Exchange customer service desk to receive their pin and proclamation throughout the week.
