Vietnam Veterans of America chapters from Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties invite the public to join in Northeast Florida’s only Vietnam War Veterans Day recognition event, Saturday morning at 10 a.m. at the TAPS Monument, at 915 Walnut St. in Green Cove Springs. The monument bears the names of 66 Clay County vets that were killed in action, 22 during Vietnam. More than 58,000 U.S. military personnel died in Vietnam from 1959 to 1975. More than 1,500 remain missing or unaccounted-for.
