With rain in the forecast, Saturday’s ceremony to dedicate the new Vietnam Memorial in Vancouver has been moved indoors.

The event will be at 11 a.m. in the gymnasium on Vancouver’s Veterans Affairs campus. The gymnasium is adjacent to the Memorial Garden, where the new monument was built to recognize the sacrifice of 59 Clark County military personnel who were killed in Vietnam.

The event, sponsored by the Community Military Appreciation Committee and VA Portland Health Care System, will include a 10 a.m. reception in the gymnasium.

The Vancouver VA campus is at 1601 E. Fourth Plain Blvd.; the main entrance is at the intersection of Fourth Plain and St. Johns boulevards.

All Vietnam-era veterans will be recognized and honored at the event with a 50th anniversary commemorative pin.
