THE WEEKLY BRIEFING
COMMEMORATING
ALEXANDRIA’S BRAVEST
Members of the Class of 1959 from
the United States Military Academy
at West Point carry a wreath to lay
at the statuette of Capt. Rocky Ver-
sace during the city’s Veterans Day
ceremony. The event paid tribute to
the 67 Alexandrians who either died
in the Vietnam War or are missing
in action, as well as other service
members and their families. The or-
ganizers, the Friends of Rocky Ver-
sace, were joined by other dignitar-
ies including Lise Harvey, regent of
the Anna Maria Fitzhugh Chapter of
the National Society of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution,
who handed out commemorative
certificates for the 50th anniversa-
ry of the Vietnam War to those who
served and survived.
