Join the “Welcome Home” End of Iraq War Parade DONORS/SPONSORS WELCOME Sunday, July 8, 2012, 2 pm Starting at City Hall, Portsmouth, New Hampshire Celebrate the return of our military personnel and the end of the Iraq War by thanking our recently returning veterans (from both Iraq and Afghanistan) and everyone who supported them during deployment. If interested, contact: Veterans Groups & Military Families: Josh Denton (603) 553-1810 Joshuaddenton@hotmail.com Bands & Entertainment: Harold Whitehouse (603) 436-8485 General Info and Sponsorship: Peter Somssich (603) 436-5221 somssich@myfairpoint.net Community Organizations & Registration: Marty Cameron (603) 431-7977 mcame038@myfairpoint.net The parade will be more than a celebration. The Veterans Administration plans to be in place at the conclusion of the parade to inform returning veterans about benefits and services they have earned. Furthermore, local businesses and community groups are also being contacted to help organize a Job & Services Fair for returning veterans to coincide with the parade. As a community, regardless of personal opinions about these military conflicts, we should take this opportunity to come together, say “welcome home” and celebrate. The Iraq Was has officially ended and this generation of veterans deserves to be welcomed home with the same fanfare as generations in the past. That is why we welcome everyone to participate and make this a positive community parade. As long as your message includes an appreciation for those who served, you are welcome in the parade. The Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and other veterans groups as well as non-veteran organizations have already indicated strong interest in participating.  I would like to support the “Welcome Home” End of Iraq War Parade with a donation.
