The True Heroes of O'Fallon....We're Proud of You

The Vietnam Era was a turbulent time in our country.  The brave young men and women of O'Fallon left the safety of their family and friends to fight in an unpopular war.  They went to Vietnam from 1965 to 1973 because they believed it was the right thing to do...They were American's protecting their country.  Thanks to these O'Fallon Veteran's who came back from Vietnam to face taunts and negativity from so many. They are now in their 60's and 70's and we honor these wonderful O'Fallon Heroes for doing the right thing....We honor and respect each and every one of you.  Thanks also to our city for honoring our Veteran's with the Veteran's Walk and wonderful ceremonies to thank them for their service.
