AUSTIN, Texas — The Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at The University of Texas presents the exhibit "Vietnam: Evidence of War," now on display at the LBJ Presidential Library until July 31, 2016.

Statement from Luci Baines Johnson:

The world may remember Nancy Reagan as her husband's mainstay during the times of national triumph and tragedy. But our family will always be touched to tears by her extraordinary kindness to us that transcended politics.

Decades after daddy's death she included us in the dedication of the Reagan Library and came half way across the country in her late 80's just to attend mother's funeral.
