Curriera, second from right, Commandant of the Eisenhower School of National Security, spoke with Vietnam veterans during the Vietnam “Welcome Home” Ceremony at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., May 13, 2023. The national “Welcome Home” event was planned by the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, a congressionally-authorized organization launched by former President Barack Obama in 2012 to honor and pay tribute to Vietnam-era veterans, prisoners of war, and those missing-in-action, as well as their families.
