Veterans of the Vietnam era are invited to join us on June 20, 2025, for our annual Vietnam Veterans Commemoration Ceremony, where we gather to thank and honor Vietnam-era Veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.
Living U.S. veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975, regardless of location, are eligible to receive one lapel pin.
With 2025 being the final year commemorating the 50th anniversary of the war, the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center will host four separate ceremonies begin at 8:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. to honor as many Veterans as we can. Ceremonies will take place at Wichita State University’s Eugene M. Hughes Metropolitan Complex (Metroplex), 5015 E. 29th St. N. in Wichita.
During the ceremony, each Vietnam-era Veteran will be presented with a lapel pin as a lasting memento of your Nation's thanks. Veterans must be registered to participate.

On June 6th, 2025 at 9:00 am there will be a brief ceremony at Wichita’s Veterans Memorial Park at the WWII Memorial to commemorate the 81st anniversary of D-Day. This was the Allied invasion of France and Western Europe to take back the countries occupied by Nazi Germany. The ceremony will begin with the National Anthem, an invocation and recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. A wreath will be placed at the WWII Memorial and the Master of Ceremonies will offer a few remarks about the significance of that event. Taps will be sounded to conclude the ceremony. The public is invited to attend but since this will be a short commemoration, seating will not be provided.
Guests who do not want to stand should bring their own chairs.
