From a Vietnam War Veteran
March 31, 2012, was a day that will live forever large in my memory. It was a day for which I shall be tremendously grateful as long as I live. Yesterday, I was one of more than 170 Vietnam Veterans and family members from Henderson County who were bussed to the Vietnam Veterans Homecoming Celebration at the Charlotte Motor Speedway by HonorAir. There we were joined by 65,000 other Vietnam Veterans and their families for as warm a welcome as any veterans have ever received from their country. It was the start of a welcome home movement for Vietnam Veterans that, while delayed for more than 40 years, was deeply appreciated by the veterans and their families.

And everywhere you looked; there in plain view were the Stars and Stripes, the symbol of our country that proudly waved today.

Veterans Day Ceremony at Cleveland Park Vietnam War Memorial
As darkness fell on the Vietnam War Memorial in Cleveland Park, graying veterans of the Vietnam War, along with their families and a few friends, gathered with members of the Greenville County Vietnamese community to pay tribute to the Greenvillians who gave their lives in defense of freedom for the Vietnamese people.
A crowd of about one hundred huddled around the monument bearing the names of their fallen comrades and family members with their backs to a chilly breeze as Pat Ramsey, president of Chapter 523 Vietnam Veterans of America, issued a welcome and introduced the chapter Chaplain Dan Vess, who presented the Invocation.Dedication of Union Bleachery World War II Memorial

Located on Grounds of Parisview Baptist Church
The Union Bleachery was one of the leading textile mills in Greenville County from 1902 until it closed its doors in 2003. Most of the mill’s employees lived in the mill village on the hill above the mill off what is now Highway 253 north of Greenville.
Former employees of the mill remember that the village was a close-knit community. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and draft age men went to war, the community shared their joy and grief.
