50th Anniversary Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans!
2014-12-09 - Main Street, Campbellsville, KY - Photo By Larry Smith.
The "50th Anniversary WELCOME HOME, Vietnam Vets" banner is suspended over Main Street in Campbellsville, KY, in readiness for the Sunday, December 14, 2014, long overdue tribute to these Veterans. The idea of he event has really caught fire. Latest to commit - an important one to the day, is Taylor County School Superintendent Roger Cook, who told me that the Taylor County High School Brass Ensemble will perform for the veterans, and will set up in the Druthers Parking lot on the NW corner of Main Street and Columbia Avenue. Other area bands are expected, and welcome. Call me at 270-789-0099 at the Big Dawg, 99.9 FM, if you or your organization should wish to participate. Other members of the committee can be contacted as well: Mayor Tony Young, Taylor Co. CJE Eddie Rogers, Rep. Bam Carney, and former Taylor County Rescue Director Charlie Shaw. - LARRY SMITH, Operations Manager, Shoreline Communications.

2014 Campbellsville Vietnam Veterans Parade
2014-12-14 - Main Street, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Larry Smith.
The Campbellsville American Legion Color Guard led the Vietnam Veterans West on Main Street, Campbellsville, KY, this afternoon, in sight of the banner welcoming them home, near the 50th anniversary of the official American involvement in the war. They were greeted by the sound of "Good Morning, Vietnam," on speakers, and a montage of music, mostly rock and roll, from the 1964-1973 - songs by James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and more brought back memories of which caused many if not most in attendance to weep openly. The parade concluded at the Campbellsville Civic Center, at reception for the heroes. - LARRY SMITH, Operations Manager, Shoreline Communication.

Vietnam Veterans Day: Three hour long reception
2014-12-17 - Campbellsville Civic Center, 205 N Columbia Avenue, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Larry Smith.
When I visited the Civic Center for the reception for the Vietnam Veterans, is packed, and the reliable report I have is that the reception lasted around three hours, with veterans coming and going after the parade. For my friend, former Taylor County High School Principal Donald Skaggs, we did the best we could. I didn't post the photo to ColumbiaMagazine.com earlier because I thought, at first, they might not be as good as they should have been. But after 'shocking' them, I think they'll do. Maybe others can send personal photos to add. By the way, I was really impressed by the numbers of veterans from out of town. We're already planning the event to coincide with Veterans Day next year. By the way, until a more official count is in, I'm standing by my Sunday attendance statement. - Larry Smith, Operations Manager, Shoreline Communications
