MISSION STATEMENT

Elizabeth Lakamp's Tribute to the Troops is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to honor Vietnam Veterans around the USA.  The event consists of a live performance as well as other veteran related services and activities to promote brotherhood, while also educating the public of their sacrifices.

Ultimately, the event has been created to improve the well-being of our Vietnam veterans,

offering the respectful welcome home they never received.

Elizabeth Lakamp's 
TRIBUTE TO THE TROOPS

VIETNAM ERA

 A note from Elizabeth,

Over 50 years ago, our Vietnam Era veterans did not get a proper 'Welcome Home'. It's about time that changes, so I have created a show that does just that!

  This is a large-scale production that features pre-recorded veteran interviews as well as nostalgic TV clips and popular music of the era. With its glimpses into the past, the show maintains a light feeling while educating the audience at the same time. 

  Much like a 'camp show', audience participation is encouraged as you take this trip down memory lane! Even if you didn't experience the era, you will enjoy this unique and interactive show.

  This performance is wonderful by itself but is even more moving when coupled with the efforts of your organization. 

Working together, we follow the format of my previously successful events and can include:
A Wall of Honor, an interactive map, a mess hall or chow line, booths from various veteran support organizations, Vietnam memorabilia, a fun 'Stars and Stripes' style program, attendance prizes, raffles and much more!

  The performance will have your veterans finally feeling appreciated for their sacrifices! Going beyond the show and making this an event, your veterans will leave feeling the brotherhood that only they can know. Either way, this event will help to heal some of the scars our Vietnam veterans still bear.
