Today, the Peacekeepers detachment #1492 pays tribute to courageous marines who served during the Vietnam War. We extend sincerest appreciation to our Commandant Marine Rickard Pounsberry and Senior Vice Commandant Marine John Daddezio, who bravely served in the Vietnam War, and to all distinguished marines on this Vietnam Veterans Day.
According to historical records maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense, approximately 345,000 U.S. Marines served in Vietnam during the war (1965–1973).
We honor those who fought for this country and express deepest gratitude to the families of those brave men and women who gave, and continue to support, those valorous warriors for your service.

Thank you.
