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.
