What's on Display?

September 09, 2012

Come in and check out our amazing display of Vietnam War era artifacts. See typical souvenirs that our American soldiers brought home with them, including several straw hats and some wonderful oil paintings depicting life in Vietnam. Included in the display is General Colin Powell's military rucksack that he carried while serving in Vietnam along with an interesting story of how the displayer acquired it.

The display leads up to our Veterans Salute which takes place Saturday, October 20, 2012. This year's ceremony will be commemorating the establishment of the U.S. Military Assistance Command Vietnam, and will include many displays, demonstrations, and a WWII reenactment.
