Vietnam Moving Wall will be coming back to Kenner, LA after 21 years

The purpose of this event is to tell the story of the Vietnam War, the men and women who were there, the comraderies they developed, the horrors of war they experienced and the friends that never made it back through a litany of pictures and other exhibits.

20 members of a living history group will set-up a Vietnam-era Fire Support Base and give oral histories to the public.
