1973 Vietnam War POW’s Return – 50th Anniversary
Beginning September 2023, each month, in collabration with the City of West Haven, the West Haven Vietnam Veterans will present a poster display at the rear primary entrance of City Hall titled, A Learning Experience.
” Americans from all walks of life served in Vietnam: people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, genders, religions, and sexualities. They served in different climates, geographical locations, and occupations. These posters highlight microcosms of the American experience in Vietnam, from women’s military service to specific military specializations. Although their stories may not be as visible in popular narratives of the war, their service was no less significant.”

Current & Retired Military Officials Testify on Afghanistan Withdrawal
Three men, current and retired military officials, gave lawmakers their assessment of what went wrong during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 during a public hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Accountability. At the height of the withdrawal and evacuations of Afghan allies and U.S. citizens, 13 U.S. servicemembers were killed by a suicide bomber at Kabul Airport. A group of family members of those military members were also at the hearing. While they were not expected to testify, they shook their heads no when asked by Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) whether they have seen any accountability from the Biden administration for what happened that day.
