Kifowit Invites Vietnam Veterans to be Recognized in Springfield

AURORA, Ill. – Continuing her efforts to support her fellow veterans, State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego, is sponsoring legislation to honor all men and women who served in the Vietnam War.

“It’s my goal to honor all those who have served bravely in all U.S. conflicts,” Kifowit said.  “The purpose of this legislation is to honor those who served during the Vietnam War by recognizing their dedication and sacrifices for our nation.”

Senate Joint Resolution 3 designates March 30th as “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day."  This is an entire day to pay tribute to the contributions of Vietnam War Veterans in securing our freedom as well as honoring the sacrifices of these veterans and their comrades who never returned home.  Kifowit would like to invite all Vietnam Veterans to visit Springfield on Tuesday, March 25th to be recognized during the presentation of Senate Joint Resolution 3.

Kifowit encourages all Vietnam Veterans to attend the House reading of this resolution on Tuesday, March 25.  For more information on Senate Joint Resolution 3 or to RSVP for the presentation of the resolution on March 25th, please contact Rep.
