Anoka, MN -- “I left the war in September of 1967, but the war hasn’t left me. It never will.” Those words, spoken by a Vietnam veteran from Anoka, point out the impact the Vietnam War has had on people in Anoka County.
A traveling version of the very powerful exhibit, “Vietnam: The Veteran’s Experience” will soon be available for appropriate venues throughout the area.
It is expected that this display will be scheduled in high traffic public areas, such as bank lobbies, libraries, and city festivals. It is also appropriate for places frequented by veterans such as VFW’s and American Legions.
Organizations wishing to schedule the exhibit may take it to their venue for display for up to a month. The traveling display is a scaled down version of ”Vietnam: The Veteran’s Experience,” which has won the prestigious National Award of Merit from the National Association for State and Local History.
The exhibit tells the story of the tumultuous 1960s era using the memories of Anoka’s own local soldiers, Sailors and Marines, who served in Vietnam. With courage and candor, Anoka County men and women have shared their stories in ways that illustrate the horror of war, and the courage of ordinary people.
