Second annual veterans event takes place in McKees Rocks
McKEES ROCKS, Pa. (KDKA) - Sunday was the second annual Veteran's Support Day in McKees Rocks.
It was a celebration with the sole purpose of thanking veterans from all around Pittsburgh.
This year, former Steelers player Rocky Bleier, who served in the Vietnam War, was a speaker at the event and said it's special to be able to gather with other veterans in the city who have served our country.

This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War.
