Our Vietnam veterans will be celebrated with Welcome Home—A Walk To The Wall and Concert on Saturday, April 2 at 2 p.m.
Dozens of Vietnam veterans will follow the U.S. Marine 2D Aircraft Wing band to The Wall That Heals at Lake Benson Park. The band will go into formation and perform a concert in front of The Wall.
U.S. Marine Col. Samuel Lee Meyer, a Garner Senior High graduate, will be the keynote speaker and U.S. Army Col. (retired) Joe Marm, a Medal of Honor recipient, is the grand marshal.
(Vietnam veterans and a guest can park at Lake Benson Park and be transported to the starting point of the celebration. The Vietnam veterans and their guest will have reserved seating, but others are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets.)
