You’re invited to an event honoring Vietnam Veterans in Hanford

HANFORD, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Hanford city officials say final preparations are underway for this weekend’s “Echoes of Courage Parade,” a special event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War and honoring those who served.

The event kicks off at 10 a.m. on Saturday with a parade through downtown Hanford, followed by a ceremony at Civic Park.

Organizers say the ceremony will honor all Vietnam War veterans, including the 22 Kings County soldiers who died during the conflict, which claimed the lives of more than 58,000 Americans.

Hanford Parks and Community Services Director Brad Albert says the event is for local veterans and their families, but everyone in the community is more than welcome to attend.
