For many veterans, the Vietnam War is far more than a historical event—it remains a deeply personal and emotionally charged chapter of their lives. Returning to Vietnam years later is seldom about tourism; instead, it is a profound journey of healing, remembrance, and reconnection.

These pilgrimages offer veterans the opportunity to confront their past, walk the very grounds where they once served, and reunite with comrades who share those memories. Through this shared experience, many discover a long-sought sense of peace and closure—an enduring bond forged through sacrifice, resilience, and the passage of time.

To facilitate a reunion with your former comrades from service in Vietnam, we kindly ask that you submit a formal letter of introduction. Your letter should include the following:

• Full name

• Military unit and service branch

• Detailed service information, including deployment locations in Vietnam

• A copy of your DD-214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty)

This initiative is dedicated to organizing a meaningful and comprehensive reunion for eligible Vietnam veterans. As such, we are only able to consider submissions from individuals who meet the specified eligibility criteria.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to honoring the bonds forged through your shared service.

To ensure the success of this important mission, the organization operates under a structured framework that emphasizes coordination, readiness, and accountability.

Each participating unit is required to:

• Designate a primary liaison to serve as the main point of contact for communication and logistical planning.

• Assemble a roster of 20 highly qualified combat veterans who meet the following criteria:

  • Demonstrated excellence in physical fitness

Please be advised that the recruitment and vetting process may take up to six months. We appreciate your diligence and cooperation in meeting these standards as we work together to honor this mission.

Deployment Duration and Purpose

Each deployment is thoughtfully planned to span twelve days, offering participants the time and space needed for meaningful reflection and connection. This carefully structured schedule balances visits to significant locations with opportunities for quiet introspection, allowing veterans to revisit the places that shaped their service and their lives.

The experience is designed to foster healing, encourage camaraderie, and support personal resolution. By creating a respectful and supportive environment, we aim to help each veteran process the past, reconnect with fellow participants, and find renewed peace along the journey.

A Journey of Remembrance and Legacy

Each itinerary is thoughtfully crafted to offer an immersive experience that honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice. These journeys take you back to the very regions where your unit served, creating a powerful connection to your shared history.

Revisiting these meaningful locations provides a profound opportunity to reconnect with your unit’s legacy and gain deeper insight into the landscapes, challenges, and moments that defined your service. It is a time for reflection, remembrance, and renewed connection.

Connecting Generations: Bridging Eras of Service

To honor the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans, our Connecting Generations initiative selects veterans who served in post-Vietnam conflicts—including Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and Iraq—to serve as escorts for return journeys to Vietnam.

This unique program creates a powerful bridge between generations of service members. By fostering shared experiences, mutual understanding, and lasting camaraderie, Connecting Generations builds a supportive environment where stories are passed on, perspectives are deepened, and the legacy of service is carried forward with honor and respect.

Dedicated Support Every Step of the Way

Each group traveling to Vietnam will be accompanied by a dedicated team committed to making your journey both meaningful and seamless. From arrival to departure, you will be supported by a compassionate group of volunteers—including fellow military veterans, in-house production staff, and experienced medical professionals.

United in their mission, this team is there to ensure your comfort, safety, and well-being throughout the return deployment. Their presence reflects our deep respect for your service and our commitment to providing a supportive environment for reflection, healing, and connection.
