National Vietnam War Veterans Day
National Vietnam War Veterans Day is Wednesday, March 29, 2023.
Ahead of National Vietnam War Veterans Day, Statesville Mayor Costi Kutteh presented a proclamation at the 03/20/2023 City Council Meeting to Dianne Wilson, Harold Wilson, Martha Harris, and Chuck Harris.
"It gives me a great deal of pride to present these proclamations on a weekly basis. This is a source of additional pride for a couple of reasons because for all of its good and bad, Vietnam is a war of the people who are my age. And, one of the prime movers behind having this proclamation today is one of my classmates of Statesville High School, Diane Wilson."
Harold Wilson, US Air Force Vietnam Veteran, flew missions over Vietnam for 22 months. He is a lifetime member of Hurst Turner American Legion Post 65 of Statesville.
Dianne Wilson, I’m the District 11 President of the North Carolina American Legion Auxiliary. She is a Vietnam War Veterans wife.
