VIETNAM: At War and At Home

Soldiers Memorial 1315 Chestnut St, Saint Louis, MO, United States

In Vietnam: At War and At Home at Soldiers Memorial Military Museum, the story of the war’s origins, execution, conclusion, and legacy are presented in engaging, accessible, and evocative ways. The exhibit presents a diverse and holistic snapshot of the turbulent times in Vietnam, in America, and in the St. Louis region. Visitors can learn about the military experience of the hundreds of thousands of members of the US Armed Forces who would be deployed around the globe as well as those who served closer to home. The concerns and actions of those who opposed the war are explored with an emphasis on what was happening locally. The process and consequences of the draft and the legacy of refugees who fled a war zone and settled in our community are also profiled.
