Veterans/Life After War

Visit to the New York Historical Society

Our group took the train to the New York Historical Society to see an exhibit on the Vietnam war. The exhibit talked about the politics and the direct actions going on in the war. We learned about everything from the anti-war movement to how veterans were treated when they came home to people who hated them and called them baby killers.

We looked at an exhibit in the New York Historical Society Museum about the Vietnam war and all the effects it had on our society here in America.
