Day of Remembrance At The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highlighted By Huey Helicopter Dedication

Yesterday, May 7th, was the dedication ceremony for the Huey helicopter at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Holmdel and was a Day of Remembrance for all those who served.  Attached are some pictures, and if you look closely you will see that there is a human model sitting behind the helicopter controls. There was a great line-up of speakers at the event and many dedicated volunteers to thank for all the work done to restore the helicopter and build the plaza around it, which we were told was a dirt field just last September. They revved the helicopter engine at one point to show that it is in fact a working helicopter, but, assuming the blades are working, they did not turn them on. That probably would have blown all the flags over, not to mention a whole lot else.  All in all, a great day and a job very well done! Many thanks to all our veterans for their service.
