Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon
Parade, expo will honor Vietnam veterans
The ThirdAnnual Wel-
come Home Vietnam
Veteran’s Parade & Expo will
be held in Warm Springs on
April 28.
The public event, hosted
by the Eugene “Cougar”
Greene Sr. American Legion
Post and Auxiliary #48 hon-
ors veteran’s who served be-
tween February 28, 1961
thru May 7, 1975.
The day’s events include
a parade, an honor cer-
emony, a meal, and an expo.
Free per-registration is re-
quired at: www.WSala48.org.
The purpose of the event
is to show support and rec-
ognition to Vietnam era vet-
erans. It’s no secret that
American’s who opposed the
war in Vietnam were cruel to
those in uniform.
Decades later society has
made efforts to change the
message to these very veter-
ans.
In Oregon, March 28 is
Welcome Home Vietnam
Veterans Day. Warm Springs
held the first event on that
day but it was too cold. Since
2017, the event has been
held at the end of April when
the weather in the high desert
is warm.
Event check-in begins at
8 a.m. on the campus lawn
at the tent visible from high-
way 26. Parade lineup is at
10 a.m. As an education
venue the parade will be can-
vassed with facts about the
Vietnam War.
Military organization
floats are required to post
facts about the war or their
community of Vietnam vet-
erans.
General floats are re-
quired to include a message
of gratitude to the Vietnam
veterans. A quiet interview
section will be set up for stu-
dents and the media who
wish to interview veterans.
The expo will be held at
the end of the parade route
in the Community Center
gym. Setup begins at 8:30
a.m. and will be opened to
the public from 12 to 5 p.m.
A Wall of Honor will be
displayed of Vietnam veter-
ans who have passed on. Ev-
erybody is invited to post
their 4x6 photos framed in
white paper frames by 10
a.m.
The American Legion fam-
ily is joined each year by area
veteran organizations, enter-
prises, small busimess, and
the Tribal Council of Warm
Springs to host this long over-
due tribute.
Details of this drug, alco-
hol, and firecracker free
event can be found at
