Operation Welcome Home is our oldest and most successful mission, dedicated to providing heartfelt and memorable welcome home events for our military heroes returning to the Central Coast. Whether they are arriving at an airport, train station, or driving home, we organize a special event to honor their return. Our events feature members and other veteran organizations coming together with American flags to cheer and celebrate. We have proudly welcomed home over 2,000 military heroes, ranging from WWII veterans to GWOT veterans, and present returning heroes with certificates and goodie bags.

If you know of a veteran who has already returned home but never received a welcome, we will arrange a welcome home event or a Veteran Vehicle Salute for them. To request a Welcome Home Mission, please click the link:
