Route 38 Dedicated

In Owego, Route 38 was dedicated as New York State Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway of Valor. A sign was unveiled this afternoon. The memorial highway stretches from Owego to Sterling. Vietnam veterans say the name means a lot to them. 20 people from Tioga County lost their lives in Vietnam. Two-point-six million Americans served there. 58-thousand servicemen were killed, 153-thousand were injured. Jack says, It means a lot to all Vietnam veterans to have the sign erected. They treated us poorly when we came home and hopefully this might rectify a little bit of the bad feelings that we had towards the public after Vietnam. That was Jack Hartzel. He is the President of Vietnam Veterans Chapter 480 of Owego.
