Vietnam War Conference - September 19


The War Museum is proud to present the Vietnam War Conference on Saturday, September 19 from 9 am - 12:30 pm at the Pontiac City Hall. Several Vietnam veterans with many different experiences will speak and answer questions. There will be two panel discussions: 9:00 to 10:30 and 10:45 to 12:15. Each discussion will give time to meet and speak to the veterans informally, before they leave for a lunch in their honor. Guests are encouraged to walk across the street to visit the Livingston County War Museum/Dal Estes Education Center, featuring exhibits from World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Vietnam Conference is free and open to the public, as well as the Museum. We encourage Livingston County residents and their families to attend this Conference to show your support of these veterans.
