Welcome Home, WI Veterans

Vietnam War Veterans from Wisconsin were honored yesterday with a “proper welcome home” event in Milwaukee.

Fifty years ago on March 29th, the last of the U.S. troops and prisoners of war came home from Vietnam. During that time, many Vietnam War Veterans weren’t welcomed with open arms because of the controversy of the war. Yesterday a “welcome home” procession took place, followed by a “lived experience” panel discussion by the Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans, and a wreath laying ceremony.
