Vietnam Day is March 29th, a day that hopefully, everyone around our nation will take time to remember and honor.
The City of Wood River wants to recognize and honor those who sacrificed from our city and surrounding area who are immortalized on the memorial plaque at Belk Park.
“The priority of city officials is the health and safety of the participants who come out to honor our local Vietnam heroes. As more people are vaccinated, Governor Pritzker is proposing an expansion of the mitigation phases,” Mayor Cheryl Maguire said
“When that happens, we are in hopes to be able to perform this ceremony to pay homage to these brave men, their family, and friends.”
