Let Us Entertain You: The USO in the Vietnam War

The goal of the United Service Organizations, or USO, is to raise morale and provide support to service members. During the Vietnam War, the USO used entertainment as a way to provide temporary escape from the hardships of war. Join us on May 15th from 6-7:30pm, for an evening with former Vietnam War USO performer and Hoosier Bonnie Hinkel. Through a combination of lecture and performance, Hinkel will share her experiences performing with the USO and give you a taste of what one of her shows would have been like with a more than toe-tapping performance. Light refreshments will be provided following the performance. Tickets are $25 for Non-members and $15 for Members, registration required.
