The event, hosted by DoD’s Vietnam War Commemoration Office, will feature three days of interactive experiences, military flyovers, music, multimedia displays, and a wide range of exhibits to extend long overdue gratitude to the approximately 7 million living Americans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War.
