The following is a list of actions for the week ahead. Please attend as many and as much as you are able.
Minnesota Remembers Vietnam
June 21-24, 2018
Minnesota State Capitol

The traveling, 3/4-scaled replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in DC will be at the Minnesota State Capitol grounds. A host of activities will happen during its stay and it will be good for VFP and friends to be involved, especially during sessions which include discussion. It is important that our perspective is heard, and we ensure that the true history of the war in Vietnam is told.
