MENIFEE, CA – The City of Menifee invites the community to honor the courageous men and women who fought in the Vietnam War at the Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans event on Wednesday, March 30 at 4:00 p.m. at Paloma Valley High School (31375 Bradley Rd.). Hosted in partnership with the students and organizations at Paloma Valley High School, the Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans event will celebrate Menifee’s Vietnam veteran community and commemorate their sacrifices and contributions to the Vietnam War. "Many veterans who returned home from the Vietnam War never received the acknowledgment they deserved and disappeared into the fabric of our society,” said Menifee Mayor Pro Tem Dean Deines.
