On Saturday, August 6, 2016 Servant Task Force will host a Vietnam Veterans Pinning Ceremony to thank and honor the men and women who served our country during the Vietnam War era. The commemoration ceremony will take place in the Century of Flight Hangar at the Museum of Aviation, Robins Air Force Base.   Doors open at 4:00 p.m. and ceremony will begin at 5:00 p.m. Every veteran who served on active duty between November 1, 1955 and May 15, 1975 is invited, regardless of where they were stationed.
 
Each member that served honorably will receive a Certificate and DOD special lapel pin for those who were stationed in country, in-theater, or elsewhere during the 20 year war. The certificate is presented either by the Governor or the Commissioner of Veterans Services of Georgia and the DOD lapel pin is presented by a Congressman, Senator, State Representative, or high ranking military member.  This program also pays tribute to those who served the home front with or in support of our Armed Forces.  This event is to recognize, honor, and pay respects to those who work on and around Robins AFB and the Middle Georgia area.  Decorated war hero Tommy Clack, President and Chairman of the Board for the Walk of Heroes/Veterans War Memorial Wall will serve as the keynote speaker.
