Join Fred Visel, former Carl Sandburg College History Instructor and Vietnam Veteran, as he discusses the United States government policy that involved America in Vietnam, strategy used to fight the war, and the reasons why he feels we lost. He will share photos he took in Vietnam, some of which no one has ever seen. 

This year, 2025, is the 80th year commemoration of the end of WWII, and the 50th commemoration of the end of the Vietnam War.

This presentation is being held twice, so you may attend either the 3:00 session or the 6:30 session!
