Vietnam Vets To Be Honored In Shelton

Shelton’s Veteran’s Memorial Park will host a state-wide celebration of Vietnam veterans May 19.

The park will be home to Connecticut’s second annual Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day event. 

The event is a way to honor Vietnam Veterans with a long overdue welcome home. It includes live music, car and motorcycle shows and food vendors. 

The event will be held on Saturday May 19 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. There is a rain date of May 20.

A portion of the money raised at the fundraiser and other events will go toward a program called Vet Hunters,” which aims to help homeless veterans. 

For more information on the fundraiser or the Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day event, visit the group’s website at www.ctwhvvd.com.
