Welcome home Indiana Vietnam veterans

A Welcome Home Veterans event to honor Vietnam era veterans will take place 1-4 p.m. Wednesday, May 3, in the American Legion Post 27, 1040 E. Jefferson St., Plymouth.

Veterans, especially from Fulton, Marshall and Starke counties, are invited to personally and privately receive a special gift, the book “A Time to Honor” and pin made for them.

The book tells over 100 individual stories taken from the National Archives giving a glimpse of the war from a personal perspective.

The 50th anniversary of the last of the American troops being sent home was March 29. There are thousands of Vietnam era veterans who do not wear any sign they served their country.

The Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs and Indiana Daughters of the American Revolution want to thank them for their service and sacrifice. All women and men who served in the military in any capacity during 1955–1975 are Vietnam era veterans.

These era veterans are encouraged to come anytime during the three-hour event and spend time visiting with fellow veterans.

This event is sponsored by the Tippecanoe River/Wythougan Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
