The official souvenir Magazine for Welcome Home 2006, “T.O.M.: Tactical Operations Manual” has just recently been published. The magazine is filled with interesting and unusual stories about those who served in Vietnam but have not received a lot of media attention over the years and emphasizes the mental healing that a lot of Vietnam Veterans and their families are dealing with.
In addition, its maps, schedules, and information on the Branson area make it an indispensable piece of gear for participation in Welcome Home 2006. It will be available for purchase right next to the registration booth at Welcome Home 2006 or click here to order on line.
