Here is an example of what your VIN tells you..

In this example 1G1Y72D43L5101153 First four digits are always the same.

1st is Country of Origin: 1 = USA
2nd is Manufacturer: G = GM
3rd is Make of car: 1 = Chevrolet
4th is Car Line or Series: Y = Y-body series (Corvette)
5th is 6 = 1LT, 7 = 2LT, 8=3LT
6th is 2 = coupe, 3 = HTC (Vert)
7th is always D (restraint system)
8th is engine type 4 = LT2
9th is the Check Digit. Use the Check Digit Calculator
10th is model year L = 2020 M = 2021 etc
11th is 5 = Bowling Green
12th is 1 = customer, 0 = CTF
The rest is partial vin. (sequential)

How do you decipher the vin to provide day and month of manufacture? Thank you for your assistance.
You can't from the vin. You have to look up your vin sequence number on sites only some can reach. Mr.Corvette will help you..

Welcome to the forum Dog, do you have a better name than that? Your car came off the line Tuesday May 21st at 9am EST.
Be sure you grab your build sheet that will be on the passenger side footwell area when your car arrives at the dealership
which will tell you the exact date and time your car started down the line as well.

Thank you for the reply. My name was taken and dropping one letter makes it easy to remember. Also attempted to place picture with my two corvettes but was not successful. Thanks again, your assistance is appreciated.
