The City of Boulder’s Older Adult Services and TRU Community Care will host a Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day event on Thursday, Mar. 30 at the East Boulder Age Well Center.
In 2021, Colorado established Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day on March 30. This recognized day is in response to the unfortunate way many Veterans of the Vietnam era were treated when they came home from duty. TRU Community Care and City of Boulder Older Adult Services would like to honor all Veterans, and on this day especially Vietnam Veterans.
