The museum has a three-fold mission:

First, to organize, foster and perpetuate awareness, information and education
on the role the military played, the conditions that prevailed and the impact of the Vietnam War and subsequent wars on both the military member and society in general.

Second, to provide assistance and support
to all Veterans during their readjustment to civilian life.

Third, to honor the men, women, and their families
who served and continue to serve this country in times of war and in peace.
Let’s provide assistance and support to all
Veterans during their readjustment to civilian life.
Support our projects... We need you.

We are currently trying to raise $9,000 to restore our Vietnam era Willy’s Jeeps,
to include body work, painting, and mechanical issues. Please help us through our “Gofundme” link.

The goal of the Vietnam War Museum is to educate the public
about the Vietnam War and to not forget the Veterans that served and the sacrifices made by many.
