Texas Tech Today : VNCA Eyes New Facility Worthy of its World-Class Collection Last Man StandingAs a last man standing organization, the VHPA and its members are in our twilight years. As we prepare to "pull pitch" for the last time it is important that our legacy is well established. This is especially true because of the controversial nature of our war, the Vietnam War. The biased news media and so called peace movement versions of the war are not the same as our reality or what really happened. It is important that each of us provide our piece of history to counter the incorrect version of the Vietnam War. Arlington National Cemetery monumentThe Vietnam Helicopter Pilot and Crewmember Monument Dedication Ceremony was held at 4:00 PM, April 18, 2018 at the Arlington National Cemetery Memorial Amphitheater (located directly behind the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier). Approximately 3,400 people attended. For those unable to attend, the VHPA Legacy Committee was able to arrange C-SPAN coverage of the amphitheater portion of the event. The event will air on Sunday, May 6th at 11:00 a.m. on C-SPAN3's American History TV.
