Pull up a chair on April 12th from 6:30-8pm and enter into some Vietnam history. Tom McGall from Fremont, NH will talk about his experience in Vietnam as a member of the Screaming Eagles: 101st Airborne.
Tom is one of the soldiers interviewed on the History Channel Documentary based on the Screaming Eagles. The library will be showing the documentary on April 10th at 6:00 PM and on April 12th at 10:30 AM. Show time is approximately 1 1/2 hours long.
During the Vietnam War the 101st Airborne Division fought in several major campaigns and battles including the fight for Hamburger Hill in May 1969. Upon its arrival in Vietnam in 1965 (1st Brigade, followed by the 2nd and 3rd brigades in 1968), the division was an airborne unit.
In mid-1965, the 1st Brigade and support troops were deployed to the Republic of Vietnam, followed by the rest of the division in late 1967. The 101st was deployed in the northern I Corps region operating against the Vietnam People’s Army (NVA) infiltration routes through Laos and the A Shau Valley for most of the war. In almost seven years of combat in Vietnam, elements of the 101st participated in fifteen campaigns. Notable among these were the Battle of Hamburger Hill in 1969 and Firebase Ripcord in 1970.
Do not miss out on these moments in history. This program is free of charge and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
