Festival to honor Vietnam vets
BY RYAN TUTAK
Col. Charles Tackett's dream of a national Vietnam
veterans' holiday will come one step closer to coming
true tomorrow at the University's Regents' Plaza.
Tackett, a local Vietnam veteran, has spent the last
five years of his life trying to gain support for the hol-
iday. Tomorrow, eight local bands and 10 speakers will
join to help "put our history where it belongs," Tackett
said.
A former United States Army soldier, Tackett served
in Vietnam during the mid-60's. He said the holiday is
a necessary reminder of the United States' longest and
most atrocious war. "Vietnam lasted 20 years, and it
was historically the longest war where American troops
were contained overseas," he added.
TACKETT, who says he has bone cancer from
exposure to Agent Orange, has spent the last five years
soliciting support for the holiday from public officials
and political activists across the country - including
Rep. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Senator Carl
Levin (D-Mich.) In all, he said he has collected more
than 1,000,000 signatures supporting the holiday.
The holiday was originally planned to take place on
the Diag, but the University disallowed the all-day cel-
ebration because of a rule stating that amplified Diag
activities are only allowed between noon and 1 p.m.
Last Monday at noon Tackett, who sleeps at the
Ann Arbor homeless shelters, began a hunger strike on
the Diag to protest the ruling. But it lasted only three
