Program Honors Vietnam Veterans
March 26, 2017
The Atmore VFW Auxiliary hosted its fourth annual Vietnam Veterans Day Ceremony (formerly known as Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day) Saturday at the Atmore YMCA.
Vietnam veterans from South Alabama and Northwest Florida in attendance were honored for their service and sacrifice.
“You answered the call of your country and you did it well,” guest speaker Judge Jeff White told the veterans. “I pray there will always be heroes like you.”

THANK YOU to all the men and women who served with honor and courage on behalf of our great Country. We are proud of you and would not be where we are today without your sacrifices and service. We salute you!
I would like to take the time to say a heartfelt “Thank You”. I served in Iraq with several local Vietnam Vets who showed me the way to become a better soldier through their guidance. I also feel that the Vietnam vets made it a lot easier for OIF-OEF vets by their struggles with the VA. There is no way that I can put into words the appreciation that I have for all Service members.
Thank you all for your service! It means so much to have such great men and women ready to serve our country to protect us. Thank you seems like so little to offer you. You deserve so much more for giving us freedom!
