FSU ROTC Vigil
November 10th, 2010 by flanewsFrom now until 11:00 tomorrow morning Florida State University ROTC students will march in honor of US Troops who fought in Vietnam.
The vigil began today at 11:00. Two students every hour will pick up their ceremonial rifles and march along the walls of the Tallahassee Vietnam Memorial. The memorial holds the names of Florida soldiers who died in combat or went missing in action. FSU Junior Lee Schafer says every year for the past 20 years the vigil has moved people.
“We always at the closing ceremonies every year, we have a lot of people who come out and watch the final ceremony. It’s a powerful showing,” said Schafer.
Nearly 2-thousand Florida soldiers were killed in Vietnam.
