The Vietnam War touched lives at home and abroad. In Lynchburg, families waited anxiously, students debated, and communities faced loss. Twenty-seven young men from our city never returned, and their stories are at the heart of this exhibit. Through letters, photographs, and personal artifacts, step into the past to see the war through local eyes, and honor the courage and resilience of our community.
