Veterans Museum Plans ‘Block Festival’

The Veterans Memorial Museum invites all Vietnam Veterans, their friends and family to a unique event noon-2 p.m. Saturday at the Veterans Memorial Museum called a  “Block Festival.” 

The Block Festival will feature the music of the Backfire Band, which will be performing tunes from the 1960s and 1970s. Food will be served by the Bus 49 truck.

At 2 p.m., the program will feature guest speaker Stephanie Hanson Caisse.

Caisse never knew her biological father, Corpsman Gary Young, who was killed in action on Feb. 7, 1969, before she was born. As a young woman she began to research the life of her father she never knew and the men he fought alongside. 

In the process she was able to connect to many veterans and bring healing and closure to them. Her journey is now in the book, “A Corpsman’s Legacy.” After the event, she will host a meet and greet and be available to sign books.

Each veteran who attends will also have the opportunity to be individually honored. The concert and program are free to the public.

For more information, call the museum, 360-740-8875.
