NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — Hundreds of veterans are expected to attend the Nebraska Vietnam Veterans reunion this weekend in Norfolk.

The reunion begins Thursday and runs through Sunday. Most of the activities will be at the Divots Conference Center.

Bruce Bounds of Norfolk was on the committee that organized that first reunion three decades ago. He says the idea then was to get veterans together “and start a healing process.” He says the Norfolk event will provide opportunities for the veterans to connect with each other.

Programs on Friday and Saturday will address a number of topics, including the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder on spouses, significant others and friends of veterans.
