Forty years after the end of the Vietnam War our veterans from that terrible conflict are to be celebrated for their sacrifice and their service to America.

On Sunday, Nov. 8, a Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans event will be held at Air Base Arizona, the Commemorative Air Force museum, 2017 N Greenfield Road in Mesa, Ariz.

All veterans are welcome and will receive free entry to the museum. Vietnam vets need to have a copy of their DD-214 as proof of service during the Vietnam War for special commemorative gifts. There will be food, beverages and appreciation upon arrival.
