LAS VEGAS – Today, Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03) held a pinning ceremony at American Legion Post 8 for southern Nevada Vietnam War veterans to honor their service and sacrifices with Vietnam Veteran Lapel pins.
The pins – which feature a blue circle with a laurel wreath surrounding a bald eagle, the American flag, and six stars that represent the allied nations who served in the Vietnam War – were awarded to a dozen local veterans. Nevada is home to more than 200,000 veterans, and as the daughter of a veteran, Congresswoman Lee has worked across the aisle to expand their access to critical health care.
