My Lai Memorial Exhibit coming to San Diego March 14-17

The 50th anniversary of the infamous My Lai Massacre will be on March 16.

The San Diego Veterans For Peace are bringing the 16-panel My Lai Memorial Exhibit Program, developed by the Chicago Veterans For Peace, to San Diego for four days, March 14-17, to honor the over two million Vietnamese civilians who died in what this country calls the “Vietnam War” and the Vietnamese call the “American War.”
