Vets welcomed with standing ovation

On their way to be seated for the “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans” ceremony held yesterday at Clinton’s Veterans Center, vets from the center and from the Clinton community were guided through a hallway lined with the center’s staff, who gave them a moving standing ovation.
