Friday, February 28, 2020:  Historian Arn Kind gave a history lecture at the Brainerd Public Library.
Several veterans from the Brainerd VFW were present and said it was a good depiction of the events. 

It was a fascinating look at how the U. S. got involved and the many problems.

Army weapons of the era were shown.

The war took ten thousand days with 58,220 American servicemen and women deaths. 

Lakeland Public Television was there to cov er the event.  Their video is at:
