The Livingston County War Museum – Dal Estes Education Center will be having its annual war symposium February 28.

Museum President Ed Long said this year, they are focusing on the Vietnam War.

“Five of our Vietnam veterans are going to come in and talk about their experiences in Vietnam. This covers the Tonkin Gulf, as far as the navy and aircraft carrier operations. It also covers a lot of the ground war, because we have four different veterans who served in different capacities during the Vietnam War. Once each person has spoken, we are going to open the floor for questions from the students. It should be a lot of fun. We do a different war every year at the high school,” Long said.

The event will be at the Pontiac Township High School auditorium from 8 to 11 and doors open at 7:30. The public is welcome to attend this event.
