Veterans who served in the military between 1955-1975 are invited Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., to attend a “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans” event in the Shelby County Courthouse Annex, 2nd floor, 25 W. Polk St.
Veterans will be given a gift of gratitude on behalf of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the American Legion and Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs. A veterans benefit officer will be onsite.
Welcome Home Vietnam War Veterans is one of two veterans projects underway through the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR). Board members of the “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans” project hope to do an event in every Indiana county to honor veterans, according to Bonnie K. Wooten, NSDAR Service for Veterans vice chair, and project board member from Indianapolis.
A veterans benefit officer will be onsite Wednesday to provide veterans with information about potential benefits they may not know about.
