Sargent Jon Baker of Time-Line Enterprises will provide a static display of artifacts to educate the public about the lifestyle and hardships of our soldiers during the Vietnam conflict.
The exhibit will include items such as weaponry, equipment and uniforms, and will highlight the music of the era.
This event is appropriate for middle and high school students and adults. It is part of a series of programs presented by the Library to coincide with the September release of the documentary “The Vietnam War” by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick.
No registration is needed – just drop-in to view the exhibit and engage in a discussion with Sargent Baker.
