Thanksgiving 2022
Thanksgiving is a hallowed American tradition filled with family, food, football and fun. But did you know we can attribute its creation largely to the military?
History of Military Services
Pearl Harbor - Dec 7, 1941
"A Day That Will Live in Infamy"
December 7, 1941: A day that still lives in infamy. The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and other American-occupied Pacific Islands, changed the course of life for all Americans, and ultimately, the world. President Roosevelt called on our people to unite. The people of that time rose to the occasion and persisted for years to prevail to what President Roosevelt expressed in his famous "infamy" speech in Congress as "Inevitable Triumph".
In remembering Pearl Harbor, we remember who we are.

Remember the Vietnam War
November 1, 1955 - April 30, 1975
The Vietnam War was a conflict carried out in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. To learn of the interesting timeline of events in Vietnam, click on the "Remembering Vietnam" logo above for an interesting animated "whiteboard" sketch by the Visual Academy that details the true "Cold War" between the U.S. and South Vietnam versus China, Russia and North Vietnam. The facts detailed in the Visual Academy will enlighten you with details you probably had no idea of regarding this conflict. If you served in country, your time with boots on the ground might present a different picture -- all of us in GLVFA honor you with greatest respect and regard.
