KIWI WELCOME HOME!

The KIWIs had a Welcome Home during New Zealand's Queen's Birthday weekend in 1998 (29 May to 1 June) in Wellington. "Parade '98 - Vietnam Remembered" honoured the men and women who served New Zealand in Vietnam. It was a time to remember those who gave their lives and those veterans whose lives have been changed forever. It was also a time to celebrate the friendships and bonds formed between people who depended on each other for their survival. This gathering created the opportunity to meet up with "old mates" and remember friends who could not be there.
