Press Release

Washington, D.C. — Due to the overwhelming response from veterans and their families, Congressman Robert Aderholt announced today that the upcoming Vietnam Veteran Pinning Ceremony in the Shoals, will be relocated to a larger venue to better accommodate all attendees. Almost a month away from the event, more than 200 people are scheduled to attend the Shoals area event.

Originally scheduled for Tuscumbia, the new location for the Shoals-area ceremony is:

University of North Alabama
Guillot University Center (GUC)
131 Shelby Way
Florence, AL 35630
Friday, August 22, 2025, at 10:30 a.m.

“Because of the incredible response we’ve received, we needed a larger space to properly recognize these heroes in a respectful and comfortable setting,” said Congressman Aderholt. “We are deeply grateful for their service, and I look forward to seeing so many veterans and their loved ones in Florence.”

Please note:

  • Only the location for the Florence event has changed.
  • The date and time remain the same: Friday, August 22 at 10:30 a.m.

The Blount County ceremony location remains unchanged:

Blount County Multi-Purpose Center
6700 County Highway 1
Cleveland, AL 35049
Friday, August 29, 2025 at 10:30 a.m.

Both events are part of Congressman Aderholt’s ongoing effort to recognize and honor Vietnam-era veterans with official commemorative pins as a token of appreciation for their service and sacrifice.
