“Vietnam: The War and the People,” an exhibit providing a graphic look back at the Vietnam War, opened at Kapiolani Community College yesterday afternoon. The exhibit features the work of longtime Hawaii journalists Bob Jones and Denby Fawcett, who both worked covering the war on the ground.

Jones mused about his war experiences in a MidWeek column last week.

Fawcett’s combat boots are featured in one display, along with several photos of her wearing them in the field. Other photos capture different aspects of the war, vivid reminders of the era, now fading in the public memory after several generations.

The exhibit is in the Lama Library, which is easily accessible from Parking Lot E on the KCC campus. It is open Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday and Saturday to 4 p.m.
