The program is scheduled to begin with a talk by John Musgrave, Vietnam veteran, poet, counselor, and veteran’s advocate. A catered meal from Martinelli’s also will be served.

Two hundred tickets are available, and you must have a ticket for admission. Tickets are available for pickup at the Temple red door on the north side, today and March 24 and 25 between 5-7 p.m.

A $5 minimum donation per ticket is suggested with all proceeds going to the renewal and upkeep of the Kansas Vietnam Memorial at Junction City. The memorial is badly in need of repairs and assistance with maintenance costs.
