This summer, stop by the First Division Museum at Cantigny Park for two new exhibits: “Panel 44: Eight Days in March,” a traveling exhibit commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial; and “The Mexican American Military Experience.”
The traveling exhibit, on display inside the museum until Aug. 13, contains the original Panel 44 produced in 1982 for the Washington, D.C., memorial. It was never placed in the wall, however, due to a fracture in the upper right edge of the black granite. Many years later, the panel was found for sale online.
