From their FAQ:

This is a grassroots effort by concerned citizens, patriotic companies and civic organizations who believe it is finally time to heal the scars of the Vietnam era.

Q. What will the event involve?

A. The Welcome Home celebration will be hosted by Las Vegas and Aviation Nation, but will include activities throughout the nation. Las Vegas will present a huge Veterans Day Welcome Home parade and the objective is for cities and towns nationwide to hold their own parades at the same time - thus creating the largest Welcome Home parade in history...

Gee, then maybe someone will have a "Welcome Home" for the veterans of Korea.

I can't be there to welcome our Vietnam vets home, so I want to say "Welcome home, guys. I wish everyone could have made it back. Thanks for what you did."
