Today, we commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, hosted by the Alabama Military Hall of Honor. So many MMI alumni and staff answered the call to serve honorably when many Americans turned their backs on them. Here, local Vietnam veteran and Huey/Sioux helicopter pilot, Irby Pope stands to salute during the National Anthem. We thank all veterans for their service and their sacrifice. --------------------------------------------- #Vietnam #thankavet #SOV #vietnamveterans #honor #service #sacrifice #salute #veteran #gunships #helicopterpilot #american #redfriday #respect #america
