Wallingford Veterans Coffee House Presents
Welcome Home 50th Year Celebration - End of the Vietnam War Luncheon
April 5, 2025
Wallingford Elks Lodge 148 South Main Street Wallingford, CT
This heartfelt event aims to honor and thank our Vietnam Veterans for their courage, sacrifice, and service to our nation.
The Vietnam War was a defining moment in our history, yet many of the brave men and
women who served did not receive the recognition they deserved upon returning home.
This luncheon will provide an opportunity to express our gratitude and ensure these
veterans know they are valued and respected by their community. It has now been 50 years
since the end of the Vietnam War, lest we forget.
To make this event truly memorable, we are seeking sponsorships from community
partners like you who share our commitment to honoring our veterans. By becoming a
sponsor, your organization will play a vital role in creating a meaningful experience for our
Veterans while also showcasing your dedication to supporting those who have served our
country. A buffet and a stellar list of guest speakers will be a fine addition to this event.
