Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans
Soldiers returning home from World War II and the Korean War were welcomed back as heroes. This was not the case when our soldiers returned home from Vietnam. Some Vietnam Veterans were greeted with anger or hostility. Others noticed there was no reaction at all. Many shared that civilians seemed uncomfortable around them, and did not want to hear about their wartime experiences.
HCP’s Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans event honors all Veterans in our community. This program is just one way HCP recognizes the unique needs of Veterans, thanks them for their service to our country, and provides a respectful welcome home.
All Veterans are welcome to attend with a guest for free. Pre-registration is required to attend.
