Thank you to the Polk County Veterans Council and City of Lakeland, FL – Government, for hosting today’s ceremony honoring those who served in the Vietnam War. This year’s service paid special tribute to the helicopter pilots who served bravely and included guest speakers, Randy Woods, Dave Caraker, and Tom Tomlinson, who all flew during the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To all who served, we salute you and say thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
