Veteran Welcome Home Ceremony, Welcome Home Ceremony
It was such an honor to be asked by Father Nigel Mumford to provide short remarks to his "Welcome Home Ceremony" for our Veterans. Probably the most moving was all the veterans, especially our Vietnam Vets, entering into the sanctuary to be cheered and applauded, some for the first time since the conflict ended. To see the faces of those that served overcome with emotion was a moment like none other.
