The State of Missouri has authorized recognition of Vietnam Veterans through House Bill 978, which creates the Vietnam War Medallion Program.
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
The bill honors those who served in the Vietnam War with a symbol of Missouri’s appreciation for their service to the nation. Those interested in receiving a medallion and certificate, including the surviving spouse or oldest living survivor of a Vietnam veteran, may contact Tony Ralston or VFW Post 919 for application forms. A copy of the veteran’s DD 214 and report of discharge or separation from service forms are needed. If there is enough participation in the program, a presentation ceremony attended by a state official may be held in Trenton.
Ralston can be reached at 359-5552 or 359-3198.
