Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese More than 500 people gathered at Garden Spot High School stadium recently to welcome home 13 Lancaster area Vietnam veterans who were returning from a trip of a lifetime back to Vietnam.

Fundraisers that were held helped to pay the $3,400 price for each veteran, which covered their travel itinerary, meals and lodging.

The three photos show the veterans being welcomed to the stadium.
