Vietnam Veterans Homecoming Celebration 2012

We will roll in together. There will be hundreds of Bikes there. YOU ARE WELCOME TO RIDE IN WITH US....Welcome Home !!!!
Vietnam Veterans Homecoming Celebration 2012
Saturday, March 31, 2012 9:00am
More than 216,000 North Carolina residents served in Vietnam, and some 1,600 made the ultimate sacrifice in that war. Now, the USO of North Carolina and Charlotte Motor Speedway, with support from the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters, will honor their service with an incredible Vietnam Veterans Homecoming Celebration on March 31 for the military members and their friends and families.
Vietnam veterans never received the type of homecoming celebration that today's troops receive as they return from service. To honor those who served and the military members who returned from combat, the USO of North Carolina is holding a long, overdue homecoming celebration. Hosted by the USO of North Carolina and Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Vietnam Veterans Homecoming Celebration 2012 is set to be an unforgettable experience featuring live entertainment, displays and demonstrations, military salutes, and much more!
Veteran Service Organizations will be on-site to assist veterans. Please bring your DD Form 214 so they can help, if needed.
Reserve your FREE ticket now!
To reserve a scooter for the event, please contact ScootAround at Scooter & wheelchair rentals for cruise, airline & convention travel or 1-888-441-7575.
For all inquiries regarding this event, please e-mail welcomehomeinfo@uso-nc.org
