The Green Cove Springs community held its annual Vietnam Veterans Day ceremony Saturday morning to thank those who fought in that war.
The community gathered at the TAPS monument in Green Cove Springs to give proper recognition and appreciation to people like Army veteran William Smith.“I always have a good feeling, but it is nice to see the people now, or at this moment, rather to thank us for our service,” Smith.
Smith, a Silver Star and Purple Heart recipient, said the only “welcome home” he got was from family and friends.
