50th Anniversary of U.S. Withdrawal from Vietnam Marked at WI Veterans Museum

On March 29, 1973, U.S. ground forces withdrew from South Vietnam. The withdrawal officially ended years of war that forever marked
a generation.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the official end of the Vietnam War, the Wisconsin Veterans Museum will open a display in its Capitol Square window, “Our Vietnam Veterans: Then and Now.” The images and oral histories in this exhibit honor a handful of the more than 57,000 Wisconsinites who served in Southeast Asia between 1965 and 1973.

Beginning March 24, 2023, from the window display, viewers can follow a QR code that links to a virtual exhibit on the museum website. In this virtual exhibit, one can read about the veterans in the display and listen to their experiences in the veterans’ own words. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
