Honoring Vietnam Veterans
Whatdaya know? After 30 plus years the country still wants to honor Vietnam vets. If you were wounded over there, and still have your paperwork somewhere, or know how to get it, this might be something you'd want to check into. For more information in general about Vietnam veterans, and to see about what the VFW is up to, go here
Are you a Vietnam veteran who received a Purple Heart for combat injuries?
If so, you could be one of 12 veterans chosen for a VFW-sponsored trip to Las Vegas for "Operation Welcome Home," a 4-day celebration honoring Vietnam veterans.
The VFW-sponsored trip, which will be Nov. 10-14, 2005, includes airfare, four nights hotel accommodation and $250 for expenses. Winners also will be able to participate in the Veterans' Day Parade and air show at Nellis Air Force Base.
Entries must be received before September 5. Winners will be notified by mail or e-mail in September. If selected, the winner must send a copy of the Purple Heart documentation by October 5 to VFW National Headquarters.
Previous VFW-sponsored trip-winners to the Army-Navy Game, the 20th anniversary of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Return to Vietnam Trip funded through the Kahle Fund are not eligible.
