Soldiers returning home from World War II, or the Korean War, were welcomed back as heroes. This was not the case when our soldiers returned home from Vietnam. Some Vietnam Veterans were greeted with anger or hostility. Others noticed there was no reaction at all. Many shared that civilians seemed uncomfortable around them, and did not want to hear about their wartime experiences.
HCP’s Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans event honors all of the Veterans in our community. This program is just one way HCP recognizes the unique needs of Veterans, thanks them for their service to our country, and provides a respectful Welcome Home.
Welcome Home is presented by our friends at Highmark and Penn State Health. 
This event is made possible through the generosity of many supporters including Capital Blue Cross, Arthur J. and Lee R. Glatfelter Foundation, The Gierasch Family, Bob & Mimi Goodling, The Harnden Group, Hetrick-Bitner, Smith, Geigle & Neumyer Funeral Homes and Crematory, Honor Engineer, M&T Bank, Members 1st Federal Credit Union, Mid-Penn Bank, Neill Funeral Home, PA Prostate Cancer Coalition, Rice Family Foundation, Smart Life VIA Willow Valley, Stonebridge Financial, United Concordia, UPMC Central PA, UPMC Health Plan, VFW Post 2493 Mt.
