WESTMINSTER

The City Council approved plans for a Vietnamese Armed Forces Day celebration at the Civic Center on June 20. The group requesting the permit, the U.S. Army Rangers Assn., had stirred up controversy in April with its request to display South Vietnamese and American flags along city light poles to mark the fall of Saigon, a plan which had local veterans complaining that it was disrespectful to the American flag. But Tuesday night, there were no complaints: The council approved the event by a 4-0 vote. The event begins at 9 a.m. in the Civic Center’s Sunken Gardens, 8200 Westminster Blvd.
