Wreaths Across America stopped by Nauticus with its mobile education exhibit on Thursday, July 6 to teach the next generation the value of freedom and honor those that served and their families.

The stop at Nauticus is part of the organization's national tour for its mobile education exhibit. The exhibit serves as a mobile museum, educating visitors about the service and sacrifice of our nation's heroes. It also serves as an official "welcome home" station for our nation's Vietnam veterans.

The organization says its mobile museum aims to honor veterans and supporters through interactive exhibits, short films and shared stories.

“The Mobile Education Exhibit provides the unique opportunity for communities to come together and share the stories of those who served and sacrifice," said Executive Director Karen Worcester.

During the mobile exhibit’s stop in Norfolk, veterans, active-duty military, their families and local community members stopped by to enjoy the event.

There was also a special pinning ceremony for Vietnam veterans.
