The Warm Springs Community held a parade and luncheon to honor veterans on Saturday, April 27. Numerous veterans, mostly from the Vietnam era were in attendance, although all were invited to attend.

Some may recall that Vietnam veterans were scorned upon their return from service. Susan Guerin, event organizer, said this event with the parade and luncheon is their way “to celebrate veterans the way they were not celebrated when they first returned. It’s a huge hug of support and love.”

The parade featured floats from veterans, as well as other community organizations. Afterwards, a lunchoeon and salmon bake brought veterans together.
