Join the Historical Society of Greater Lansing at 3:00 p.m., Friday, August 8, at the MSU Library Green Room for a unique presentation by local authors, poets, veterans and war resisters recognizing the end of the Vietnam War. Held in conjunction with an exhibit hosted by the MSU Special Collections on the role MSU played in the Vietnam War. The program will feature readings of poetry written by a local poet killed in the War to a reading of a poem by a local combat marine; a letter from an imprisoned war resister, letters home from those serving in Vietnam and reminiscences from a combat nurse. The event will recognize how the War interjected itself into all aspects of our daily life from 1955-1975.
