    Tennessee (the Volunteer State) is the first state declaring March 29 as Viet Nam Veterans Day, Welcome Home.

    My little town, Crossville, will host the first parade in honor of this Day.  I will be proudly wearing my dog tags and wings, and ride an antique fire truck with a group of my fellow Red Hatters.

    We expect the hotels to fill and hope to welcome home and say thank you to all Viet Nam Vets and their families.

    The following states are now in the process of going for proclamations making March 29th Vietnam Veterans Day.
    Tennessee, the first
    Alaska
    Arkansas
    Arizona
    Connecticut
    Georgia
    Iowa
    Indiana
    Minnesota
    Missouri
    Mississippi
    Montana
    North Carolina
    New Jersey
    New York
    Oregon
    Texas
    Washington
    West Virginia
    Wisconsin

    If you support a Welcome Home to these vets in your state, please contact your reps.

    Dottie,

    That's wonderful to hear!  It's certainly something that's way over due! I'm so proud for you as I know this is something that is near to your heart - as well it should be!  Let me be one of the first to send you a much deserved "THANK YOU" for the service you provided for our country.

    hugs,

    vicki
