Vietnam History Day at Battleship Cove

Join Battleship Cove as we delve into the history of the Vietnam War, honor the sacrifices of our troops and give thanks to the veterans still with us today on Saturday, August 2, from 9:00am – 5:00pm at Vietnam History Day.

Over 2.6 million American men and women served within the borders of South Vietnam during the war and in recognition of our troops, all Vietnam Veterans will receive free admission all day long.

Peek inside the Bell UH-IM Iroquois helicopter and learn about its two tours in Vietnam and tour areas of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., not usually open to the public. The Kennedy, which houses an official war memorial to those who served in Vietnam will also offer quite reflection to honor our brave men and women.

Dr. John Sbrega, a highly decorated pilot who flew 1,818 missions during Vietnam will be on hand to talk about the war.

There will also be helicopter making and helmet decorating Funshops for the kids, special guest speakers, and more.
