Special stories shared during Vietnam War presentation in Butler today

A presentation was held today at the Bates County Sheriff's Resource Center in Butler featuring the video "Remembering Vietnam, 25 years after" that tells the history of the Vietnam Veterans memorial in Washington, D.C.

Just prior to the showing, Judy Pierce (above) shared stories of her brother Alan Grimsley who served in the Vietnam War and told of the impact it had on his life. Sadly, Grimsley passed away in 2012 at the age of 73 due to complications thought to be related to his time of service.

The program is being done in conjunction with The Wall That Heals that will be on display in Butler April 30th through May 3rd and there will be another presentation of the video this evening at 6 pm. The public is encouraged to attend at the resource center located on the south side of the Butler square at 13 W. Dakota street.
