IN A JOINT PROCLAMATION, Cleveland Mayor Kevin Brooks, center, and Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis, not pictured, declared March 29, 2023, as Vietnam War Veterans Day in Cleveland and Bradley County to encourage citizens to honor, recognize and thank those who answered the call to serve. Vietnam War Veterans Day gives every American the opportunity to say, “Thank you and welcome home” to veterans who returned home perhaps not to a hero’s welcome, but to a divided nation, and were often met with hostility or indifference. Also pictured are Janet Allen, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 81 Veterans chair; Leigh Ann Boyd, Daughters of the American Revolution Ocoee Chapter Regent; Maggie Evans, Ocoee Chapter Flag of the USA co-chair; and Betsy Bassette, DAR Ocoee Chapter First Vice Regent.
