North Shore Vietnam Veterans Breakfast Set For Swampscott School

SWAMPSCOTT, MA — A Vietnam veterans breakfast and ceremony sponsored by the Lynn Swampscott/Peabody/Salem DAV Chapter 64 is scheduled for next week at the former Clark School in Swampscott.

The annual event will take place on March 27 at 8:30 a.m.

The free program is intended to provide space for recognition, reflection, and gratitude.

Veterans, elected officials, community leaders, and residents are invited to gather in a respectful and welcoming setting. The breakfast will include remarks from invited public officials and a veteran guest speaker, along with time for informal conversation and connection.

The focus of the program is on making sure Vietnam veterans feel seen, valued and appreciated for their service, particularly many who returned home without the recognition afforded to other generations.

Many Vietnam veterans built their lives on the North Shore before and after their military service, and their experiences reflect the area's long relationship with national service, sacrifice, and civic responsibility.

The event is intended to contribute to a more complete and inclusive understanding of the past and present.

The breakfast encourages participation across generations and backgrounds and reinforces the idea that civic life includes honoring service and listening to those who have served.

Registration is required. People can register online here or by calling 617-967-6892.
