    Organized by Vietnam Veterans in Partnership with the City of Sedona

    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (March 12, 2012) – Friday, March 30, 2012 will be the first Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day in the Verde Valley and Northern Arizona.  In 2011, the US Senate proclaimed March 30 Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day. This date marks the anniversary of the day that combat and combat support units withdrew completely from Vietnam.  The City Councils in the Verde Valley will join the Senate by issuing their own proclamations.

    Recognizing Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day is a gesture of acceptance, gratitude and honor to the members of our community for their service and the sacrifices they made on our behalf during the Vietnam War – this includes the Veterans and their families.  Because a large part of the population had misgivings about the war, many Vietnam Veterans returned home to an unsupportive public.  On March 30, Verde Valley communities have the opportunity to celebrate and honor their Vietnam veterans.

    We invite Vietnam Veterans and their families to come forth to receive the welcoming, love and healing that our Sedona and Verde Valley communities can offer.  It is hoped that fellow veterans from other wars, organizations both public and private, schools, as well as parents, spouses, children and friends of Vietnam Veterans, take time during this day to come out and join the celebration.

    The event will include a Motorcycle Escort starting at 10:30 a.m. in Clarkdale.  It will go through Cottonwood, Camp Verde, Village of Oak Creek and end at Posse Grounds Park, 525 Posse Ground Road in Sedona.  Starting at 1:00 p.m., a full color guard will open the festivities.  The event will include entertainment, food, information on Veteran’s benefits, and finish with a movie at the Mary D. Fisher Community Theater around 4:30 p.m.

    Over a dozen Vietnam Veterans, family and community members have joined together to organize this event.  We are here to create an event that sets a new tradition for the Verde Valley to honor our Vietnam Veterans and their families.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
