Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R, I, C – Batavia) is encouraging family and friends of Vietnam Veterans to submit photos of their loved ones to The Education Center, which is being constructed in Washington, D.C. The facility will feature photos of veterans whose names appear on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, attaching a face and story to the names of the courageous heroes that make up the wall.

“We all must do our part to tell the tale of each and every brave soul whose name is featured on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall so that future generations can honor and appreciate their sacrifice,” said Hawley. “The Education Center being built in Washington will serve as both an informational and somber tribute to our Vietnam Veterans and their place as heroes in American history. With so many courageous soldiers hailing from Western New York, I know our community and region will be well represented when The Education Center opens its doors.”
