We're always grateful to partner with the @VVMF (Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund) on their Echoes of the Vietnam War podcast. The newest episode, "Taking Requests, Taking Fire" (part 1), uses several of our interviews to discuss the Armed Forces Vietnam Network (AFVN); broadcasts created by the military for service members in Vietnam.

The Wall That Heals, a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall came to White County recently.
It is always impactful to see the names of those I knew and fought with in Vietnam. I am glad that Hoosiers could also be supported through this amazing event. Thank you to all the workers and volunteers who made this event possible.

#OTD 5th - 11th May 1968. The worst week of the #VietnamWar for America with 616 U.S. service personnel declared dead or missing in action. Their names are inscribed on Panels 56E to 58E of The Wall. @VVMF

What an honor to welcome The Wall That Heals today. It made a quick stop at the ballpark before leaving with a motorcycle escort to Surprise where it will be on display through April 12.

Today we remember the 246 service members we lost on January 31, 1968, the deadliest day of the Vietnam War.

Think Veterans Day 2025 was cold?
Try Veterans Day 1987.
At the November 11, 1987, rededication of the @VVMF Vietnam Veterans Memorial: snow!
But that didn't stop 84-year-old Bob Hope ....

A team from @PottCountyIA travelled to Nevada, Iowa yesterday to view the @VVMF's The Wall That Heals. It was an incredible experience and we would like to thank the Nevada representatives for their hospitality as they accompanied us around the site.

In the surprise TET Offensive - launched in January 1968 - the North Vietnamese attacked over 100 South Vietnamese cities & American bases. Though all the ground was recovered by March, brutal images & high casualties weakened public support for American involvement in Vietnam.
