The World War II American Experience is holding its third Vietnam Weekend to honor Vietnam Appreciation Day and the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. The museum is transformed for one weekend only to honor the veterans and share the history of the Vietnam War. This year we have a great lineup of presenters in addition to our Vietnam era vehicles, artifacts, displays, and living historians.

This year we’re pleased to have Maj. Gen. Bill Matz (Ret.) join us for a presentation and signing of his new book, “My Toughest Battle: A Soldier’s Lifelong Struggle with Polio.” Bill Matz earned his Ranger Tab and Master Parachute Badge and rose to the highest levels of achievement in the U.S. Army. He served in the DMZ in Korea, led troops in combat in Vietnam, was wounded in the Tet Offensive, received the Distinguished Service Cross for Valor, and led troops again during the Panama invasion—all while wearing a specially fitted combat boot and a foot orthotic device on his atrophied “polio leg.” Later duties included serving as Executive Secretary to the Secretary of Defense during the Reagan years. 

Join Maj. Gen. Bill Matz (Ret.) for an intimate discussion about his experiences and his book at 1:30pm.

Vietnam Weekend activities included with museum admission and free for members.
