Welcome Home Club
Welcome Home Club – Donor Recognition Program
Our Vietnam Veterans served with dignity. However, when they returned home they were ridiculed and treated poorly for answering the call to serve their country. They never heard the greetings like “Welcome Home” or “Thank You”.
Donate today to help us complete the Oregon Capitol Vietnam Veterans Memorial. This memorial is Oregon’s way of saying “Welcome Home” and “Thank You” to our Vietnam Veterans.
Donors to the Vietnam War Memorial Fund are automatically enrolled in the Welcome Home Club. Upon the completion of the memorial, Welcome Home Club members will receive a certificate reflecting the giving level of their cumulative contributions.
Thank you to all of our Welcome Home Club members!
