The Vietnam veterans recognition ceremony was hosted by the LBJ Library and the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration group. Each Vietnam veteran received a lapel pin engraved on the back with “A Grateful Nation Thanks and Honors You.” The event took place on the plaza outside the LBJ Presidential Library, which is hosting a three-day Vietnam War Summit to discuss and reflect upon the lessons and legacy of the 50-year-old war. Speakers include U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, a Vietnam veteran; former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who negotiated the 1973 Paris Peace Accords that ended U.S. combat in Vietnam; documentary filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, who are completing a 10-part, 18-hour Vietnam War documentary to be shown on PBS in 2017; and Vietnam combat veterans.
