Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans

Coffee4VETS President Juan Blanco was one of the speakers that spoke to the crowd of community supporters that came out to welcome our Veterans home. Our table provided resource information to the many, many veterans and spouses that attended the Welcome Home Ceremony for Vietnam Veterans. It was also a great to see Walter Sapp return home from the hospital. The day was spent embracing each other in celebration as we thank everyone for their Service to this great country. God Bless America. Many thanks to the Antelope Valley Wellbeing Coalition and their team of volunteers for hosting this event. It will be remembered for many years to come Click on the images to view gallery.
