FLORESVILLE — On Friday, March 29th, the Frank M.

The event will kick off with a “Welcome Home” speech from Daniel Medrano, former president of the Vietnam Veterans Association from 2006 to 2014. Following the speech, the Floresville High School cheerleaders will lead the Veterans in a procession down the hallways where they will be cheered and thanked for their service by members of the VFW Post and Auxiliary 8555, Daughters of the American Revolution, members of the Veterans Affairs Volunteer District 5, as well as staff, family, and other residents. The Vietnam Veterans will then be given front row seating for a performance from Re-Creation that begins at 2 p.m.
