Vietnam Veterans Day Honors Local Heroes in Emotional Ceremony

Springfield, March 29, 2025 – Dozens of veterans, families, and community members gathered today at Springfield Veterans Memorial Park to mark Vietnam Veterans Day, a solemn occasion recognizing the service and sacrifice of those who served in the Vietnam War.

The ceremony featured speeches from local officials, a 21-gun salute, and the laying of wreaths at the memorial’s granite wall, inscribed with the names of 42 local service members who never returned home.

'Today, we honor the bravery of these men and women who answered their country’s call, even when the nation was divided,' said Mayor Linda Carter. 'Their courage and resilience deserve our deepest gratitude.'

Among the attendees was 78-year-old retired Army Sergeant Thomas O’Reilly, who served two tours in Vietnam. Fighting back tears, he shared his appreciation for the recognition. 'For years, many of us came home to silence or scorn,' O’Reilly said. 'Days like this mean everything—it’s about remembering those we lost and finally feeling welcomed back.'

The event concluded with a missing-man formation flyover by the local Civil Air Patrol and a rendition of Taps played by a high school student whose grandfather served in the war.

Vietnam Veterans Day, officially observed on March 29, commemorates the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Vietnam in 1973. Across the country, similar events paid tribute to the more than 3 million Americans who served during the conflict.

'We can never repay their sacrifice,' said Veterans Affairs representative David Martinez, 'but we can ensure their legacy lives on.'
