The nation's first welcome home parade for Iraq war veterans will take place on January 28th in St. Louis, Missouri. Some good news for parade organizers. Union Station has opened up its doors for an event before and after the parade, says Craig Schneider, Welcome Home Parade Organizer. "Union station has opened their doors so our dream of this veterans resource village where we can get people and groups together that are welcoming them back and kind of helping them out, Union Station has opened its doors. So it's all going to be inside at Union Station now." The parade will start run down Market street starting at Kiener Plaza and end at Union Station. So far the group is operating on Facebook. On a page titled 'Make January 28th Welcome Home the Heroes from Iraq Day.' The group says it's gotten some corporate donations, but they need more. |
