This welcoming experience is different from how he was welcomed home after the vietnam war. 'It means an awful lot. It was different when we came home from Vietnam. We flew into California, and there were a lot of protests. Truthfully, this is an honor. There are a lot of veterans here. It's an honor to be with them,' said Simoni. Simoni is traveling with his son, who is also a veteran. The veterans will return to Hawthorn Aviation tonight around 9 p.m. Hawthorne is located just north of Sioux Gateway Airport on Mitchell Street. Everyone is encouraged to come and join in for the 'Operation Welcome Home' ceremony honoring the veterans and capping the emotional day. Doors at the Hawthorne will be opening at 7:30 p.m. If you are unable to take part in person, KCAU 9 will also live stream Operation Welcome Home on our website. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
