This museum was so much to take in. It covered other timespans in history, but we are keeping our pictures here
to their most recent war - the Vietnam War or "American War." We felt numb walking through and seeing all these things.
Our heads were spinning from all the political messages we've been programmed with over the years and then getting hit with
their politically charged messages as well. History is history but it's given to us through interpretation, so it's
overwhelming when two interpretations clash head to head like this. Many real and graphic photos were used that we didn't
feel comfortable taking pictures of. It was sobering and emotional walking through all the displays.
