Vietnam Vets: A Homecoming Celebration

Grand-scale, weeklong event with 100,000 to say thank you


The board of directors for the first-ever national event, scheduled for June 13-19 in Branson, Mo.,include entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Ross Perot, chairman emeritus of UPS Stores Jim Amos and NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Smith.

"By honoring those who answered their country's call
during a difficult time in our nation's history, the
legacy of duty, honor and country will be passed on
to America's sons and daughters who will be called
to serve in the future," the organizers say. "It's
an idea whose time has come."
