The Connecticut Air Guard and the New England Air Museum will be the sites of Connecticut's Vietnam 50th Celebration.

This event is designed to educate a new generation about the Vietnam War and the part it played in the lives of our friends, relatives and neighbors whose stories are the building blocks of American history. The Vietnam 50th is sponsored by the Central Connecticut State University Veterans History Project Vietnam War Commemoration Committee. Collaborating partners are the Connecticut National Guard, the Connecticut Department of Veterans' Affairs, and New England Air Museum.

The Vietnam 50th Celebration weekend will take place on July 11 and 12 on the grounds of the Connecticut Air National Guard in East Granby and the Connecticut New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks.
