“Help me find eligible Vietnam Era Veterans who reside in my district and so I can honor them with a Commemorative Lapel Pin. If you or someone you know with an address in Congressional District TX 31 are interested in receiving this recognition, please complete my Vietnam War Commemoration Lapel Pin Form and return it to our Belton, TX District Office. This honor can be awarded posthumously and accepted by a family member on the Veteran’s behalf.” Thank you very much for your service!     

The United States of America Vietnam Era Commemoration honors all Veterans who served on active duty in the US Armed Forces at any time from November 1, 1955, to May 15, 1975, regardless of location.
