Vietnam Veterans Day Storytelling Event

PITTSBURGH - EntSun -- The Veterans Breakfast Club is holding a special Vietnam Veterans Day Event at the Heinz History Center on Sunday, March 29, 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm ET.

This free Vietnam Veterans Day event will honor and celebrate all veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the period of November 1, 1955, to May 15, 1975, regardless of duty location.

For the fourth consecutive year, the Veterans Breakfast Club will gather on March 29—Vietnam Veterans Day to remember the war and the generation who fought it. The official federal commemoration period (2015-2025) has ended, but the VBC believes the stories must continue. This day is not about politics or arguments of the past; it is about people—those who served from the earliest advisory missions to the final days in Saigon, and the families who carried the weight at home.

The program will combine history and first-hand testimony. We'll have some history shared by the Veterans Breakfast Club and Heinz History Center staff, followed by veterans sharing memories from the Advisory Era before 1965 through the major combat years across I Corps at the DMZ to IV Corps in the Mekong Delta and through "Vietnamization" after 1969.

Our goal is simple: to hear from every branch, every region of the war, and every kind of service—grunts and Marines, Airmen and Sailors, nurses and support troops and personnel of all sorts. These stories remind us why March 29 matters: it marks the day in 1973 when the last American combat troops left Vietnam, a homecoming that for too many came without welcome.

Todd DePastino, Executive Director of Veterans Breakfast Club, shares, "In 2025, we had hundreds of attendees join us in commemorating and recognizing Vietnam Veterans and their service to our country. It is always a moving experience to connect with veterans through their inspiring service stories. We anticipate another large attendance for the 2026 event."
