I’d like to remind my readers that March 30th is the 2nd Annual “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” for all Vietnam Veterans in California.
The following is a list of local cities that will be recognizing this law and honoring Vietnam veterans prior to March 30th:
The meetings will be held at each city hall, and the County Supervisor’s chambers.
The public is encouraged to attend and show their support for the men and women who served during a difficult time in our nation’s history:
City of Arcata - March 16th at 6:00 p.m.
City of Eureka - March 21st at 6;00 p.m.
City of Fortuna - March 21st at 6:00 p.m.
City of Rio Dell - TBA
Humboldt County Board of Supervisors - March 22nd at 9:00 a.m.
After March 30th – The City of Ferndale will present a proclamation on April 7th.
On September 25, 2009, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, joined by Assemblyman Paul Cook and WHVVD founder Jose G. Ramos, signed AB 717, making it a law.
According to latest veteran census statistics, there are an estimated 3,300 Vietnam Era veterans living in Humboldt County. For more information, or updates, contact Carl Young at carlhandup@att.net
