HOWES WILL INTRODUCE 'VIETNAM VETS DAY' BILL

Walker Lawmaker Larry Howes intends to introduce a bill in this year's legislative session to name March 29th Vietnam Veterans Day in Minnesota. Howes said the bill has a good chance of passage. Howes said he's talked to House Speaker Margared Anderson Kelliher to ask her if the bill could be 'fast-tracked' and she gave her support. Howes said whether people liked the war or not, veterans who came back from it were not treated as well as the should have been. One other state has proclaimed a Vietnam Veterans Day so far.
