Vietnam Vets honored during ceremony at Fort Hamilton
It’s never too late to welcome our soldiers home.
Fort Hamilton honored Vietnam vets during its annual Vietnam Veterans Appreciation Day ceremony on Thursday, March 26. Veterans, their families, special guests and current soldiers were in attendance at the Post Theater to remember and honor those who served in the war and didn’t often receive the proper level of appreciation.
“I was a sergeant. I was in the first infantry division in Vietnam. I did multiple tours and this is the first time I’ve ever done something like this as far as going on stage and having a welcome home ceremony for serving my country. It’s fantastic,” said Vietnam veteran Herb Morales. “It’s like being back in Vietnam with all my brothers. It’s overwhelming.”
