National Vietnam Veterans Museum

The original "Buy a Brick" campaign, which ended in 2006, was introduced to raise funds for the relocation of the Museum on Phillip Island. The project provided an opportunity for veterans, their families and members of the community to show their support for the museum.

In appreciation, representative bricks in the form of bronze coloured plaques bearing Family, Organisation or Unit name’s, are now displayed on a wall in the Museum for all to see.

The Museum Board would like to thank all those who purchased the bricks and thereby helped build the Phillip Island facility.

The Museum Wish List
Plans are in place for a wish list of inclusions. Some of the major ones being: -
- A “Sound and Light Show Spectacular” that will encompass the entire Museum and transport the viewer’s senses “Back to the Past”.
- The restoration of a Canberra Jet Bomber program. This will be carried out over the next three to four years. Visitors will be able to view the progress.
- Restoration of a Wessex Helicopter in the same location also viewable
- The acquisition of an M113 APC (Armoured Personnel Carrier)
- Introduction into the displays of a Bell Huey Helicopter
- Purchase of audio visual equipment and monitors. These will be strategically distributed through out the Museum, which will continuously show the thousands of photos taken in country and kindly donated by veterans.

Of course all of this can only be done with outside support and help. Purchase of Bricks, donations, bequeaths all help with this development.

The Museum would like to thank all those who purchased the original bricks that helped build the Phillip Island facility.
We would encourage everyone who visits the Museum to view the bricks in their pride of place and in doing so, consider a donation of your own to assist in the further development and expansion of this unique and important Museum.
