In observance of National Vietnam War Veterans Day, people in Sea Isle City are asked to pause for a moment of silence in honor of the men and women who served in the Vietnam War.
As a way to remind Sea Isle residents and visitors of the moment of silence, the city’s fire sirens will sound at 11:00 a.m. on Monday.
“We are doing this to show respect for all Vietnam veterans who served our nation and often have been overlooked,” Mayor Leonard Desiderio said in a statement.
“Many veterans who served in the Vietnam War were not properly recognized – or worse, were treated with disrespect – when they came home from serving in Southeast Asia. And so we ask everyone to please observe a moment of silence for them on Monday at 11 a.m.,” he added.
