Vietnam Veterans Welcome Home Ceremony, Fort Campbell, Kentucky 1400H
16 August 2009
MG Jeffrey J Schloesser, CG 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) has
announced a Welcome Home Ceremony for Vietnam Veterans during the Week
of the Eagle at Fort Campbell Kentucky on Sunday 16 August 2009.
Vietnam Veterans from ALL units, branches and services are invited to
participate in this very special opportunity. Vietnam Veterans will
have the rare privilege of receiving the same welcome home that every
member of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) receives when they
return from the war on terrorism.
To participate, everyone is to enter Fort Campbell, KY at Gate 7 on
Sunday 16 August 2009 and assemble in casual patriotic attire no later
than 1400H CST (2:00 PM) at the Freedom Fighter Gymnasium near the 4th
BCT (506th Currahee) headquarters.
Buses at the Freedom Fighter Gymnasium will transport everyone to and
from Hangar 3. At Hangar 3, family and friends will assemble inside
while the Vietnam Veterans form and "dress right dress" outside the
hangar.
The grand moment will be when the hangar doors open to the sound of
patriotic music, banners, cheers and tears. The Vietnam Veterans will
be greeted by our new Commanding General, MG John F Campbell (former
Commander 1st Bde 82nd Abn Div), families, friends and other patriots.
What a memorable moment! I am a veteran of the Vietnam War and it
touches me deeply to know that our Commanding General has made this
special effort to include the Vietnam Veteran in the same honors given
to our active duty Soldiers.
After the Hangar 3 ceremony, buses will return everyone to the Freedom
Fighter Gymnasium (air-conditioned) and a sit down free Bar-B-Q meal for
the Vietnam Veteran and one guest. The Golden Rule Smokehouse
Restaurant is donating the meals.
