The museum will host the American Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVTT) Vietnam Memorial Aug. 18-21. This 80% replica of the Vietnam Wall bears the names of more than 58,000 service members killed in Southeast Asia. As a backdrop for this memorial exhibit, the museum will host historical displays, veteran presentations and more.
In conjunction with this memorial event, the museum will have Panel 44 on display in the 4th building. Panel 44 is a commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial containing the names of 337 American service members who died between March 9 -16, 1968. The Panel was originally produced in 1982 to go on display in Washington D.C. but was ultimately not placed because of a crack.
