Carol Mahler will present a program on the posters Society members created in 2015 to
commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and introduce a project to gather
memories of Vietnam War veterans.
March 29, 2023 the nation recognized National Vietnam War Veterans Day on the 50th anniversary of the date the last
combat troops left South Vietnam. It was not until April 30, 1975, that NVA tanks rolled through the gate of the Presidential
Palace in Saigon, effectively ending the war. The 50th anniversary of that end of the Vietnam War is coming up on April 30,
2025. We invite the community to record stories of our local veterans from that war for a future public display. More details
and help in creating your memory poster will be available.

Come early if you want to get some lunch.
