City Seeks To Honor Those Lost in Vietnam

Correction. 10 a.m. Sunday. Wording changed so as not to imply those honored needed to be from Walnut Creek.

The city of Walnut Creek is seeking the names of those lost in Vietnam so they may be recognized as part of the 2013 Memorial Day Observance.
 
Residents who lost a family member are encouraged to email Jennifer Ruane at ruane@walnut-creek.org. Please include

• the name of the service member;
• whether he or she was originally from Walnut Creek;
• the branch of military service;
• rank; and
• date of death or Missing In Action.

The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. Monday, May 27, at the gazebo at Civic Park, corner of North Broadway and Civic Drive. Brigadier Gen. Barton J. Gilbert, U.S. Army (Retired) is due to be the keynote speaker.
