A word from the visionary Jim Meier regarding this event -

Greetings-

I am hoping you will join me and thousands of others Aug 25th to express a heartfelt thank you to Viet Nam Veterans.

Purpose:

So many Viet Nam vets were poorly treated when they returned to American soil after their tour of duty. The anger expressed by war protestors, although understood by many, was misguided when directed at the soldier. This was wrong was wrong and it needs yet to still be corrected today. One way to do so in Omaha is to create a venue to say thanks, we appreciate you! And do it right...with sincerity.

How this came to be:

I contacted a business colleague and friend, who is Viet Nam Army combat vet. We then met with Omaha Royals staff and now the Veterans Business Forum, Nebraska Business Development Center (NBDC) and my business, The Training and Consulting Connection (TCC) are simply getting the word out and hope will help spread the word.  
   
Goal:

  1. Fill the stadium, 25,000+ strong
  2. Deliver a high quality program
  3. Create a positive lasting memory for Viet Nam vets and those who come to support them

Grass roots effort:

Hopefully the word will spread virally. The hope is that people will team up-friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and invite at least one  Viet Nam vet to join them...buy their ticket. It doesn't matter whether it is two people, 20 or two hundred in a group. What does matter is that this is simply from the people of Greater Omaha and done by them. Hopefully too, organizations will let their employees know and perhaps buy a block of tickets for employees.
