Norton — Norton Vietnam veteran Alan Wayne Pare is among fellow veterans being honored posthumously Monday in an In Memory Day Ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., according to Jan C. Scruggs, founder and president of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF), which holds the ceremony each year.

Ninety-seven American heroes from the Vietnam War era will be honored during the annual In Memory Day Ceremony.

In Memory Day was created to pay tribute to the men and women who died prematurely from non-combat injuries and emotional suffering caused directly by their service in the Vietnam War, but who are not eligible to have their names inscribed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
