A Lehigh Valley Museum Finally Gets To It: Vietnam Veterans, Will You?

“American involvement in the Vietnam War (1955-1975) was one of the most tumultuous events in modern history. More than fifty years since the war began, Vietnam remains an emotional topic. The goal of this exhibit is to enlarge perspective for this unresolved era … The content will be visual, highly educational, and extremely patriotic. This is exhibit will open in early 2014,” states the exhibit synopsis from the Lehigh County Historical Society (LCHS).

The Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum, operated by the LCHS, knows how to do research properly and has done many histories on World War II veterans since the 1990′s. Now, it must begin moving into the Vietnam War era to continue to make itself relevant.

Consequently, it is in urgent need of and actively seeks Vietnam War veterans who would be willing to share their experiences and perhaps some of their artifacts for the exhibit, expanding the existing collection. It wants to tell the story through their eyes and experiences and needs to start the building the collection now.  LVMAC urges you to contact it (see below) and to tell other organizations and individuals as well of this important opportunity to share history.
