Vietnam Veteran display at Capitol

January 28th, 2008 by peskeym

If you are in Pierre for any of the legislative sessions, check out the Iroquois area Vietnam Veteran display, which is located near the Governor’s office.
A lot of hard work and research from Carl Matter(’63) and John Sweet(’64) went in to making this a great display.
Two Iroquois high school graduates, Ted Voigt (’63)and Bob Whites(’65), lost their lives in Vietnam. A beautiful plaque with their pictures on it is one of the exhibits on display.
A plaque depicting all of the Iroquois Area Vietnam Veterans and a painiting from Galen Wallum (’65)is also on display.
We humbly thank all of our veterans for their dedication and service to our country.
