Veterans whose service in World War II, Korea and Vietnam prevented them from receiving their high school diplomas will be given their credentials at an “Operation Recognition” ceremony March 29.

The Solano County Office of Education will host the event that will recognize those whose high school educations were interrupted by the wars.

Local Vietnam veterans will also be recognized as part of National Vietnam Veterans Day. Veterans group organizers hope to see about 100 local Vietnam veterans attend the ceremony. They will be awarded Department of Defense memorabilia such as Vietnam Veteran Presidential proclamations, lapel pins, buttons and bumper stickers.
