The U.S. Army Airborne & Special Operations Museum is proud to announce the official opening of its newest temporary exhibit, Warrior Bonds: U.S. Army Special Forces & Montagnards in Vietnam.
Unveiled on April 24, Warrior Bonds tells the extraordinary story of the powerful alliance formed between U.S. Army Special Forces and the Montagnard people during the Vietnam War. This exhibit honors a legacy of courage, loyalty, and cross-cultural partnership that continues to inspire generations.
Curated in collaboration with students from Fayetteville’s Jack Britt High School through the Fort Bragg Museums’ Curatorial Apprentice Program, Warrior Bonds showcases original research, oral histories, and artifacts that explore the deep bonds forged in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.
Visitors can now engage with the exhibit in entirely new ways thanks to a recent investment in cutting-edge educational tools.
“The ASOM Foundation last summer received an American Rescue Plan Act nonprofit grant from Cumberland County to fund an educational experience in the permanent gallery,” said Renee Lane, Executive Director of the ASOM Foundation. “As a result, we have made an investment with CheQRboard to transform educational offerings that will create immersive, interactive, and engaging learning experiences in nine languages for visitors of all ages.”
CheQRboard’s mobile-accessible platform adds depth to the visitor experience by layering in firsthand accounts, oral histories, and interactive content. Guests can use their phones to access media that makes the stories of Warrior Bonds come alive.
“By integrating CheQRboard’s tools, we’re expanding the way we tell stories — especially for younger generations, veterans, and educators,” said Lane. “This is part of our broader commitment to innovation in education as we celebrate 25 years of the Museum’s mission.”
Warrior Bonds is now open to the public and will be on display for a limited time. To plan your visit or learn more about upcoming exhibits, please visit www.asomf.org.
