Coral Springs officials honored Vietnam War veterans during a recent commission meeting, proclaiming March 29, 2025, as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. The event highlighted the sacrifices made by over three million Americans who served in the Vietnam War, with more than 58,000 lives lost and countless others affected.
Mayor Scott Brook led the tribute, expressing heartfelt gratitude for the veterans' service and acknowledging the lack of recognition many faced upon returning home. "We cannot measure the debt of gratitude we owe to those brave men and women," he stated, emphasizing the city's commitment to honoring their contributions.
The proclamation encourages residents to support and thank Vietnam veterans for their sacrifices. Tony Bianco, president of the Veterans Coalition of Coral Springs, expressed appreciation for the city's ongoing support, inviting veterans to a complimentary meal at Sharkey's on the designated day.
This recognition serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of the Vietnam War and the importance of honoring those who served.
