Schlemmer’s connection to the Vietnam War runs deep; he joined the organization through the war service of his father, Dennis C. Schlemmer, who served with the U.S. Army 864th Engineer Battalion from 1968-1970. This personal connection fuels his passion for honoring the sacrifices made by those who served during this tumultuous period in history.

Outgoing president Katee Girling of St. Paul, MN will transition to the position of National Junior Past President, bringing her valuable leadership and experience to continue guiding the organization’s vision.
In his new role, Schlemmer will spearhead the organization’s efforts to maintain and uphold memorials honoring the Vietnam War, as well as to educate and inform individuals seeking insight into this pivotal period of history. Additionally, he will collaborate closely with The National Vietnam War Museum to promote understanding and appreciation of the Vietnam War for generations to come.
“It is an immense honor to step into the role of National President of the Sons and Daughters of the Vietnam War,” said Dennis Schlemmer. “I am deeply committed to advancing our mission of honoring those who served and creating a supportive community for all members. Together, we will continue to uphold the legacy of the Vietnam War and ensure that its significance is never forgotten.”
