The Vietnam War era was a “tumultuous and confusing” time, but American citizens owe a debt of gratitude to those who served their country in that war. So stated Sen. Butch Miller as he addressed a room full of Vietnam War veterans and their families at the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 17 meeting in Oakwood on Thursday. Miller was joined by Harry Evans, regional director for the Georgia Department of Veterans Services.
