M*A*S*H Actors to Appear at Fayetteville’s Heroes Homecoming III Tribute To Korean War Veterans

Community's four-day event to feature celebrity guests Jamie Farr (Corp. Klinger), Loretta Swit (Margaret"Hot Lips" Houlihan), and William Christopher (Father Mulcahy) will be in Fayetteville.

Fort Bragg Communities of Cumberland County announced stars from the television series M*A*S*H will attend the third annual Heroes Homecoming celebration, taking place November 8th-11th. Heroes Homecoming III will feature a series of tributes, exhibits, recognition ceremonies and events remembering soldiers of The Korean War.

"We are ecstatic to have cast members of M*A*S*H joining us for Heroes Homecoming III this year,” commented John Meroski, CEO of the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau(FACVB).  “M*A*S*H brought much needed awareness and recognition to veterans and victims of the Korean War, and the actor’s presence at Heroes Homecoming III is an important reminder that we have not forgotten the sacrifices of those soldiers."

The actors will participate in a number of events during the four-day celebration. From interacting with soldiers and families stationed at Fort Bragg to reliving memorable experiences from the set of M*A*S*H, and supporting our veterans by attending the first annual Veteran’s Day blood drive, the actors will be available for autographs and photo opportunities throughout the weekend.

Known as “The Forgotten War,” Heroes Homecoming III is committed to honoring and assuring every Korean War veteran that they will always be remembered.

“For too long, these veterans have been largely forgotten by the public and no amount of gratitude can thank them for their brave service and sacrifice. The heroic actions of our soldiers, both past and present, are unspeakable and deserve unmeasurable amounts of recognition and we are proud to be hosting an event in their honor,” commented Mr. Meroski.
