More Pictures

This is a picture of part of the exhibit on the Wall. You can see some of the stuff that has been left. Boots, beer, Jack Daniels, Crosses, letters, poems hats, pins and everything in beween. There were letters there of people that wrote and gave up their medal of honor and wanted it taken off their records and not to get compensation for recieving one...I'm wondering if this was because they didn't want the reminder or if because we as the public had made them not want the reminder of their past....

Okay here is a picture from the exhibit on the Viet Nam Memorial....this really struck my heart...I'm not sure if you can read it but if you can't the note says...They have letters and items that people have left in the past on display.
Hey Bro! Here's the beer I owe you-24 years late. You were right I did make it back to the world. Great seeing you again. Sorry not to be with you but I'll be along soon. Thanks Sarge



This is a display of some items from 9/11 that were recovered. An Airphone from Flight 93 and badges from the Pentagon.


This is the flag that was draped down over the Pentagon the day after 9/11. There are smudges all over it and it hangs just as it did on the wall at the Smithsonian as it hung on the Pentagon.




This is the entrance to the military history section at the American History Museum. It chronicled wars from the Revoluntary to Present day Iraq.
