Governor Haley,

My name is Pam Herndon.  I am a member of the DAR (Daughter's of the American Revolution) General Marion's Brigade chapter of Moncks Corner.  Our chapter has partnered with the Department of Defense to recognize and commemorate Vietnam Veterans.  

The National DAR has proclaimed March 29, 2016 as Vietnam Veterans Day.   Our chapter has been asked to contact our local and state officials to assist us in recognizing South Carolina Vietnam Veterans.

Our chapter would like to request that the State of South Carolina join us with this effort.  Below is the suggested proclamation for your review and consideration. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (843) 465-9726 or email: pgherndon64@gmail.com.

Respectfully yours,


Pam Herndon, Historian
General Marion's Brigade
SCDAR
