Special thanks to Deanna McLaughlin for putting her experience into words, not to mention the hard work she does organizing the escort every year. -Frances When I was approached to organize and lead the escort of the Traveling Vietnam Wall for the 2017 Welcome Home Veterans Celebration, I didn’t give it a second thought, my automatic response was Yes. I approached the planning of the escort like I did for every escort/mission that I had been responsible for up to that point
