 This year, we mark 50 years since the end of combat operations in the Vietnam War. This fall, New Yorkers will have a special opportunity to gather and remember the over 58,000 service members who were killed. And to honor all those who have served our nation, the wall that heals will be coming to Flushing Metals Queens from September 28th to October 1st. The wall is a replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C. Visitors will be able to take rubbings of service members' names and honor their loved ones. Love ones like my own uncle, Joe Wilkins Smith. I was only seven years old when we lost him, but his memory and his courage have shaped my life. I hope each one of you will join me at the wall. This administration will always stand for our veterans and their families. And this fall, we will take the opportunity to honor, remember and heal together.
