Vietnam War Living History Day March 30, 2023
The Battleship New Jersey will host the annual Vietnam War Living History Day on Saturday, April 1
from 10am to 3pm. The event features Vietnam War re-enactors throughout the ship and artifacts in
the Officers’ Wardroom. The ship will even play 1960s music through the Pier’s speakers to meet guests
as they arrive. Vietnam War activities are free to experience with the purchase of a tour of the Battleship.
Further, the Bucks County Mobile Vet Center (MVC) will be parked on the pier of the Battleship to assist
veterans visiting the Battleship on Saturday. The MVC will provide confidential counseling space and
state-of-the-art satellite communication packages to allow for tele-health conferencing, for areas that either
can’t support a ‘brick-and-mortar’ Vet Center or for rural areas that are distant from existing services. All
veterans touring the Battleship are welcome to take advantage of this free service.
