Step back in time with us; let your eyes wander around our park, at the M-60, main battle tank, standing silently, and the UH-1 Huey mounted on a white pedestal, looking as if it is about to take off from the green grass.

Check out the home-made sign that will tell you how far from Vietnam you are and look at the flags flying bright and dark against the blue Michigan sky. The music you hear is from the `60s and `70s. The words, "We gotta get out of this place" seem to hang in the air.

The Vietnam Service Ribbon is above the door; step inside and join us for a walk through yesterday. Sign your name in our guest book, we would like to know you were here. Wander around. Please stop for a moment and look at the mementos on the wall honoring Tom St. Onge. Look at the smiling young man, at the case with his Ribbons, and at the case holding the flag, that covered his coffin. Stand quiet for a moment and then look around you.

In one corner, you will find the table, waiting for the POW who has not come home, and is not forgotten. There are many things to see - equipment of all types from all branches of the Service; the weapons of war are here, deadly, no longer. Maps and pictures, some showing the signs of age, decorate the walls. Glass cases hold the memories of those who were soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines; their uniforms hang along one of the walls. Step into the small theater and look at our library of tapes, both documentary and movie, attempting to reach back to us from another place and time. Share your memories with us; We want to hear them.
