Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day Celebration In California By Ned Costa, CAPO
WHITTIER, CA (March 2011) Earlier this month, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution to honor veterans who served in Vietnam by designating March 30, 2011 as “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.” This special day for Vietnam Veterans was celebrated all across the U.S. today, perhaps even in your home town. Casper Platoon veteran Ned Costa had the honor to spend the day with fellow Sky Soldiers from the 173d Airborne Brigade – Southern California Chapter 14, while attending the “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” celebration in Whittier, California.
Above are: Jerry Perry, Art Martinez, Wambi Cook, Ned Costa, Ray Ramirez & Rene Macare at the 173d Airborne Brigade Chapter 14 booth.
Wambi Cook is the President of Chapter 14 and is one of a few members of the 2/503rd Infantry who was not killed or severely wounded during the battle on Hill 875. Art Martinez is Vice President and Ray Ramirez is the chapter Secretary.
