Waterloo Museum Displays Experiences of Vietnam Vets

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — A yearlong exhibit at a museum in Waterloo is designed to share what veterans experienced while they were in Vietnam.

The exhibit is called "365 Days and Counting: Iowans in the Vietnam War" and will open at the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum in Waterloo on July 14. Vietnam veterans will be on hand that day to talk about their experiences.

In another salute to veterans, a welcome home parade is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. on July 17 in downtown Waterloo. All Vietnam-era veterans are being invited to participate.

Rick Reuter is one of the veterans working on the exhibit, and he says it is "going to show family members what Vietnam was like."
