Vietnam veterans to be honored March 28 in Dubois

Veterans, families and community members are invited to gather Saturday, March 28, for a full-day program honoring Vietnam veterans and welcoming them home with gratitude.

The event, hosted by the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois in partnership with Wyoming PBS, the Wyoming Veterans Commission and the Wyoming Department of Education, recognizes National Vietnam Veterans Day (March 29) and Wyoming Veterans Welcome Home Day (March 30).

With more than 600,000 Vietnam veterans still living nationwide — most now in their 70s or older — organizers emphasize the urgency of honoring them now.

“Many Vietnam veterans did not receive the welcome home or recognition afforded to other generations of veterans,” says Dan Starks, NMMV founder and chairman. “This commemoration is an opportunity for Wyoming communities to come together, express gratitude and ensure their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.”
