A statewide veterans group is hosting a fundraiser dinner on Feb. 25 to raise money for the second annual “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” event.
The fundraiser will be held at the Courtyard Marriott in Cromwell from 6 to 11 p.m.
The second Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day event will be held in Shelton this year, at the downtown Riverwalk.
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.
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.
