Dear Vietnam Veterans and Family Members,
   We welcome you to this event and to this celebration of YOU. This is your time to heal, to laugh, to embrace, to dance...and to find peace.
   In the meantime, this page has been created to help you with any spiritual needs, no matter your faith.
   We thank you for your service and celebrate you for your commitment to duty, honor and country.
   Warmly,
Operation Welcome
