WHERE VETERANS
Receive THE
HOLLYWOOD TREATMENT


A COMMUNITY BOND THAT ATTRACTS


As the home to Ft. Bragg for the past 100 years, Fayetteville has welcomed and celebrated servicemen and women as they trained, deployed, returned and retired. So it is only fitting that every year, Fayetteville extends an invitation to Heroes Homecoming, a one-of-a-kind multi-day commemoration befitting the men and women who served in each conflict. With programs throughout the community offering insight into the unique challenges and sacrifices so we all may better understand.

A Sea of Appreciation

Preprinted newspaper inserts with message to vets on one side and program event on the other

Triage for the media

Scout influencers and the writers that can carry the story far and wide

Invite the right people

Make it meaningful

Vets Get Star Treatment

Often overlooked Korean War vets get their due. Personalized tours on Ft. Bragg with their M*A*S*H contemporaries. Mutual admiration, hugs, handshakes and tears

A Standing Room Only Tribute

Some were fans. Others were there to hear the stories for the first time. Memorable for all

Honest Connections

Fayetteville's dedication to its mission continues today

Never forget WWII Vets

Dwindling in number, WWII vets had their own stories retold by school children so we all will #neverforget

Foster relationships and memories that will live on

We embedded their stories in the hearts and minds of the generations that came after
