Mark Simerly, right, pins a Vietnam War veteran with a Vietnam War Veteran Lapel Pin for his service during a Vietnam War Commemoration Program event March 29, 2019 at KleinLife in Northeast Philadelphia. The event was in support of the Department of Defense’s Vietnam War Commemoration Program which recognizes military veterans who served on active duty between 1955 and 1975 and did not receive the ‘welcome home’ other warfighters have throughout history, due to political contentions of the time.
