Rockford, Illinois (WTVO) – Three Rockford regional organizations come together to host a free bowling game to honor those who served in the Vietnam War.
American Vietnam veterans and Don Carter assisted Rockford in collaboration. Veterans attending received free bowling and free lunch.
One organizer believes the event is a great opportunity for veterans to meet.
“A large portion of our clients are veterans, so we encourage our clients to come out on a day even if they can’t bowl or don’t want to bowl,” said Janine Idstein, director of Assisting Hands Business Development. “But just meet other veterans and have a fun afternoon, which is free for them.
Vietnam Veterans Day begins on Saturday.
