Museum of American G.I. proudly presents Lest We Forget

The Museum of American G.I. proudly presents The AVTT Traveling Vietnam Wall. All are invited to visit the wall and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country from November 12-15.

A special opening ceremony will take play on November 12 at noon, and an evening ceremony at 5pm will feature wreath presentations by all branches of the military, a rifle salute and taps.

The exhibit is a great opportunity to teach students about the history and the meaning of the memorial and others like it. Children are encouraged to create crafts like artificial poppies to decorate the Traveling Wall.
