(Jan. 29, 2015) On Jan 31, 2008, the 40th anniversary of the TET Offense of the Vietnam War was recognized and those who fought in this victory were honored.
The TET 40 wreath made by Rosie Garlitz was placed at the Worcester County Veterans Memorial in Ocean Pines to mark the anniversary. Each year since then a wreath has been place at the Worcester County Veterans Memorial on Saturday, Jan. 31. This year, the TET 47 wreath will be placed at 10 a.m. at the memorial recognizing the 47th anniversary and to honor those who fought in the TET Offense of 1968. Also a moment will be taken for those who did not return from this victory.
The past six years in good weather or bad the program went on and the same will apply for this year’s program. All are welcome.
Synepuxent Post #166 and the Ocean City Chapter #1091 of the Vietnam Veterans of America will have a reception at Post #166 American Legion on 24th Street in Ocean City following the ceremony. All Vietnam Era veterans and supporters are invited to attend at noon for lunch.
