It’s been more than a half century since the United States was engaged in the Vietnam War, and an event this weekend in Ventura County will look at some of the ongoing impacts.

The City of Camarillo is hosting a panel called “The Vietnam War: What It Means For Us Today.”

A history professor will be joined by three Vietnam veterans, including a fighter pilot who spent six years as a POW. The free event will take place from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, at Rancho Campana High School in Camarillo.

Lance Orozco has been News Director of KCLU since 2001, providing award-winning coverage of some of the biggest news events in the region, including the Thomas and Woolsey brush fires, the deadly Montecito debris flow, the Borderline Bar and Grill attack, and Ronald Reagan's funeral.
