State Rep. Tony Dale, R-Cedar Park, is inviting anyone in his district—especially veterans and their families—to the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument dedication on March 29.
The monument dedication ceremony will run 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Guests can find parking in downtown Austin and arrive as early as 8 a.m. to find seating at the Capitol's north side, Dale said. Attendants are asked to RSVP at the ceremony's EventBrite page so planners can assess how many people will be at the event. Tickets are free and registration is not required.
March 29 marks exactly 41 years since the last American forces left Vietnam, Dale said.
"We do anticipate more than 3,000 now attending the event, and I suspect it may go higher than that," Dale said. "That's not only a great testament to the organizers of the event, but shows the place of honor that Texans hold their veterans in, and I'm really encouraged by that."
