National Vietnam Veterans Day Parade

Saturday, March 29 is National Vietnam Veterans Day.  There will be events around the nation to celebrate the Veterans of the Vietnam war. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the conclusion of the war in Vietnam.

Here in Honolulu, there will be a ceremony at Fort Derussy and a parade down Kalakaua Ave. We are looking for participants in the parade, all body styles are welcomed (not just convertibles). You do not have to drive a Mustang to participate. Decorating your car in a patriotic theme is strongly encouraged. You may or may not be asked to host a Veteran or Dignitary in your vehicle.
