A simple sign can carry a powerful message.

As The Wall That Heals makes its way to White County, we invite families, classrooms, scout troops, and community groups to create handmade "Welcome Home" signs to display along the es**rt route. Whether made with markers, paint, crayons, or glitter, these signs are a meaningful way to honor our veterans and help give them the welcome home many never received.

For many Vietnam veterans, "Welcome Home" are words they never heard when they returned from service.

Next week, White County has the opportunity to change that.

We invite you to join us as The Wall That Heals arrives in our community. Whether you attend a ceremony, volunteer, bring your family, or simply spend a few quiet moments at the memorial, your presence helps honor those who served and ensures their sacrifices are never forgotten.
