On May 19th, Armed Forces Day, the historic city of Richmond will throw a grand Welcome Home Parade for our returning veterans from the ongoing War on Terror. Richmond and the great state of Virginia have one of oldest and proudest military traditions in the nation, and the state plays host to Fort Lee, Naval Station Norfolk, MCB Quantico, the National Maritime Center, Langley Air Force Base, and the Pentagon.
On Armed Forces Day, the Old Dominion will proudly partner with the Welcome Home Foundation–the founders of the nation’s first Welcome Home event in St. Louis on January 28th–to create a fantastic event that honors those who so bravely served in our ongoing War on Terror. Even more importantly, the event will raise awareness of the issues and challenges facing this generation of veterans and their families, and connect them with the employment opportunities, services, and people waiting to welcome our heroes home and apply their know-how to community challenges.
You can support this event with your tax-deductible donation at http://www.americaforvets.org/richmond.html. See you on May 19th!
