The Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit will make several stops across Kansas to honor those who served and welcome home Vietnam veterans.

According to the organization, their mission is to “Remember, Honor and Teach”.  The Mobile Education Exhibit achieves this goal by bringing the local community, veterans, active-duty military, and their families together through interactive exhibits, short films, and shared stories. The exhibit serves as a mobile museum, educating visitors about the service and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes as well as serving as an official ‘welcome home’ station for our nation’s Vietnam Veterans.
