Fort Hood recalls all Vietnam vets                   







From the Commanding General...


FORT HOOD, Texas -- The III Corps commanding general would like all Vietnam
veterans to join Fort Hood in a Vietnam Veterans Welcome Home Ceremony May
21 as part of the Corps' Phantom Warrior Week.

During the ceremony, Vietnam veterans will receive the same fanfare
present-day Soldiers receive when they return from Iraq and Afghanistan. The
veterans will parade onto Sadowski Field in front of hundreds, perhaps
thousands of supporters who appreciate the sacrifices they made 50 years
ago.

After the ceremony, veterans are invited to view the traveling Vietnam Wall
and static military vehicle displays. The day will end with a festive
barbecue.

Vietnam veterans who are interested in participating in the Welcome Home
Ceremony, can register online by clicking on the Phantom Warrior Week logo

veterans are invited to attend the events and should also register. Some
events have limited availability and will be open on a first come basis.

During the week, various sporting events will be held for the active-duty
Soldiers and at the weeks' end, May 24, Vietnam veterans are invited to
participate in the III Corps Commanding General Lt. Gen. Don Campbell Jr.'s
"Pass in Review" with Fort Hood units on Sadowski Field prior to the
presentation of the coveted Commander’s Cup.
