The Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum, 503
South Street, Waterloo, is opening a new temporary ex-
hibit, 365 & Counting: Iowans in the Vietnam War Tues-
day, July 14. The exhibit will be on display for a year,
closing on July 16, 2016.
The Vietnam War was the longest war in American
history up until the 21st century. Between the years of
1962 to 1975 American forces fought to prevent the
growth of communism. Iowa sent 115,000 men and
women who served in all branches of the military, most
in country for 365 days. Their stories, from the mun-
dane to the painful reality of combat, tell of a war that
was unlike previous United States engagements.
Back home the war became a polarizing issue. Some
politicians and civilians questioned the war's necessity
and strategy as American casualties mounted. But for
those who served, Vietnam became a defining moment
in their lives. Most American troops served honorably -
all sacrificed and some sacrificed all.
The exhibit will express a more personal side of the
war by weaving together a timeline with individual sto-
ries of Iowans. Stories will be told that cover all branches
of the service - from the foot soldier to support groups
whether on land, air or sea. Artifacts, photographs, video
footage and audio recordings will enhance the storyline
that reflects over 13 years through the 1960s and into
the 70s.
To the Veterans of the Vietnam War, we say Welcome
Home! Friday, July 17, at 6 p.m in Downtown Water-
loo, the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum will
also be holding a Welcome Home Parade honoring all
Vietnam Era Veterans. To participate in this parade
visit ww .gmdistrict.org/welcomehomeparade.
Viewing this exhibit is included with regular museum
admission: Adults $10, Children 4-13 and Veterans $5.
Vietnam Era Veterans, GMD Members and children 3
& under are free. For more information call 319-234-
6357 or visit www.GMDistrict.org.
