The Week of the Eagles has come to a close on Fort Campbell with the Honorary Air Assault Award Ceremony where veterans of Vietnam were recognized.
The last week of events has been about honoring Fort Campbell’s heritage and history, recognizing current service men and woman and remembering those who paved the way for those who would follow in their footsteps. Major General JP McGee says today’s division is prepared for whatever may come, partly thanks to the veterans who served before and showed true bravery and strength.
He says he hopes everyone remembers to thank all veterans for their sacrifice, and he personally thanked those who served in Vietnam.
Each Vietnam veteran received an honor pin and a standing ovation. The ceremony concluded the Week of The Eagles, which was a return to usual form following a cancellation in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic
