Vogt says thousands of Iowans were a part of the war.

Vogt says they will have someone to talk about how the reserve forces were called up to go to Vietnam.

Vogt says there will also be people there who can give the Vietnamese view of the war.

Vogt says they’re going to have a howitzer firing during the morning and in the afternoon, and a veteran from the U-S Marine Corps who served with an artillery unit will talk about their missions. The event is free and is 9:00 a-m to 5:00 p-m on Saturday, and Sunday from 9:00 a-m to 1:00 p-m.
