On Wednesday, June 29, amid an audience liberally sprinkled with Viet Nam veterans, United States Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger began the meeting in the most patriotic way with the Pledge to the Flag, the singing of the National Anthem, and prayer.
The first item on her agenda was the pinning of Hawkins County Viet Nam veterans. She stated she has pinned and given certificates to almost four thousand veterans of that war. Wednesday, with the assistance of Dennis Elkins and Mike Manning, she presented ten pins and certificates, nine to men and one to Deborah Townsend, a veteran of the US Navy.
