Fort GreeneVille DAR
Welcome Home
Vietnam Veteran's Day
March 29, 2016 is "Welcome Home Vietnam Veteran's Day". March 29 was
the last day troops were on the ground in Vietnam.
To commemorate this
date, the Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR sponsored a proclamation signed
by Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers on March 23 at the Greenville City
Building.
Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR invited local Vietnam Veterans
to attend this proclamation. There were 13 Vietnam Veterans present for
this proclamation in honoring them and all Vietnam Veterans.
Mayor Bowers proclaimed March 29, 2016 as WELCOME HOME VIETNAM
VETERAN'S DAY in Greenville, Ohio.
Mayor Bowers went on to say that this commemoration includes nine
million Americans, with approximately 7.2 million of them living
today, and makes no distinction who served in-country, in-theater or
were stationed elsewhere during those 20 years. They all answered to
the call of duty.
Afterwards Fort GreeneVille Chapter, a United States 50th Anniversary
Vietnam War Commemoration Partner, thanked each Veteran for attending.
Fort GreeneVille Chapter members encourages everyone to thank a Vietnam
Veteran on March 29 in recognition of Vietnam Veteran's Day for their
service and all the sacrifices they made for our country.
