More of our beloved Vietnam Veterans will be honored at a Welcome Home Ceremony on July 2nd at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Junction City.

“Ten years ago [they] had a reunion here and the city welcomed them quite well and they reached out for us to do that again, and so we’ve been working hard to make that happen,” said City Commissioner and Vice-Mayor Phyllis Fitzgerald.

The veterans will be given a tour of Fort Riley and the Milford Lake Dam area before returning with a Sheriff’s Department and motorcycle association escort to the Courtyard by Marriott for the Welcome Home Ceremony.

The members of this unit, 137th Engineer Battalion, will also ride in the Sundown Salute Parade on July 4th in Junction City.
