Montgomery County Vietnam Veterans Memorial Dedication
“Welcome Home” is a greeting offered to those returning from war that is popular among our Vietnam Veterans because their welcome home was less heartfelt than that offered Veterans from other wars. It continues to be a saying used with a handshake or embrace offered to brothers and sisters that served in Vietnam. The Montgomery County Commission on Veterans Affairs was established by County Executive Isiah Leggett in 2008. The Commission on Veterans Affairs advocated to create a memorial in Montgomery County to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in defense of our country during Vietnam.
