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 here.

While Vietnam veterans will be notably recognized on the parade field,
all veterans are invited to attend the events and should also register.

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
