Special to The Advocate

Recently, State Representative Joe McGonagle joined several of his colleagues at the Beachmont VFW in Revere to celebrate Vietnam Veterans Day. The holiday – March 29 – honors and remembers those who fought in the Vietnam War. McGonagle was joined by Rep. Jeff Turco of Winthrop, Rep. Jessica Giannino of Revere, Rep. Adrian Madaro of East Boston, State Senator Lydia Edwards of East Boston and several VFW representatives.

“Those who fought in Vietnam fought in a different kind of war,” said McGonagle. “Due to the nature of the conflict, they many times do not get the recognition they deserve. I am in awe of these men and women and feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to honor them. I’d like to thank Beachmont VFW for putting on this event and my colleagues for joining me in this commemoration.”
