At the National World War Two Museum, Colonel Terry Ebbert, a Vietnam War veteran and former New Orleans homeland security director, was named Veteran of the Year. He shared a leadership lesson: Take care of your troops. Lead from the front. Among the attendees was 101-year-old veteran Meyer, who, despite his dislike for war, appreciated the speed of modern communication. Meyer, an immigrant, emphasized the role of immigrants in building America, a sentiment echoed by Vietnam War veteran Ly. As the nation honored its veterans, Meyer hoped for unity under one flag.
