Honoring Fallen Servicemembers

One North Dakota state official pays tribute to those who have served our country.

Senator Heidi Heitkamp visited the Fargo Air Museum to speak at a Vietnam War memorial ceremony.

The AMVETS hosted the event to honor North Dakotas who gave their lives in the Vietnam War.

Senator Heitkamp also presented Certificates of Honor to the families of the fallen heroes.

“I think mainly what we wanted to do was to bring together the families to say thank you. These families have a shared grief and a shared story. And the more we can reach out and heal these old wounds the better,” said Senator Heitkamp.

Senator Heitkamp is also doing a series of speeches in the Senate on the 198 North Dakotan who never came home from Vietnam.
