War

Video | Need to Know | PBS
We need to stop the wars and future wars for now.... and forever.
The children say....duh! It is so easy to do.
War is hell....especially for the wounded that struggle to live a
productive life,
after their part is over.

When visitors first enter the museum, they will hear a sound like wind chimes coming from above them and their attention will be drawn upward 24 feet to the ceiling of the two-story high atrium. Dog tags.... of the more than 58,000 service men and women who died in the Vietnam War hang from the ceiling of the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in Chicago. The 10-by-40-foot sculpture, entitled Above & Beyond, was designed by Ned Broderick and Richard Steinbock. The tens of thousands of metal dog tags are suspended 24 feet in the air, 1 inch apart, from fine lines that allow them to move and chime with shifting air currents. Museum employees.... using a kiosk and laser pointer help visitors locate the exact dog tag with the imprinted name of their lost friend or relative.
