Currently: The Vietnam Experience, A Soldier’s Story

September 16 – November 28, 2010

The personal stories of local allied veterans who served in the Vietnam War are the emphasis of our newest exhibit, “The Vietnam Experience, A Soldier’s Story”. The exhibition includes historical artifacts, photographs, and documents interwoven with remarkable oral histories. The exhibit opens September 16th and runs until November 28th 2010. The opening night reception for Museum members will be held September 16th at 6pm which will include a ‘Presentation of Colors’.

Other highlights of the exhibition include simulated living conditions, a Reflection wall, a speaker series, and film “The Vietnam War” which will air every Saturday at 1:30pm.

Our goal is to honor the men and women of both the United States and Vietnam who served their countries in a common cause, and to educate our community about the sacrifices that they made.

Over 278,000 Allied soldiers would die along with 1,470,000 Allied wounded in one of the most controversial wars in American history.

The exhibit has been made possible with material from our local US veterans, the collection of the Pacific Coast Air Museum, the Sonoma County Vietnamese Association, and the Petaluma Military Museum.
