"Panel 44 - Eight Days in March" with Jim Knotts, U.S. Army Museum

Jim Knotts presents on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund's traveling exhibit, “Panel 44 - 8 Days in March.” The exhibit displays the memorial’s original Panel 44 that was produced in 1982, but not placed in the memorial because of a crack in the upper-right corner.
Inscribed with the names of 337 American service members whose lives were lost between March 9-16, 1968, the exhibit also includes moving artifacts that were left at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Jim Knotts is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and a veteran of the Persian Gulf War. He has served on the staffs of the U.S. Southern Command and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Knotts has also served as CEO of two national military-support nonprofits, including the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund for the past eight years.
