The movable Vietnam Memorial wall will be coming to Santa Barbara and will be at 300 E. Cabrillo Blvd. from October 12-17th. Please come down to say hello to the “guardians of the wall” and view this special homage to the fallen men and women from the Vietnam War.

This photo makes me feel like I am witnessing history that happened almost 500 years ago. Spooky!

We wish to thank Lis for organizing the event and all of the staff who contributed to our first Family Night at SBMM. It was a fun night for all.
