As Bob K. stated the display was excellent. The video screen which is located in the right cargo door tells the stories of many of the brave men involved in the war. For me, it was a moving experience. I realize that the anti-war movement will also be a part of that time in history.

I think what many of us are asking is why was this display located so close to 091. The clever wording may not be apparent to the average person but to those of us which are part of this display it is another slap in our faces. A picture of Jane Fonda is the same as a Nazi symbol being on the same flag pole as "OLD GLORY". Personally, I wouldn't walk across the street to watch her cut her wrists. Even if they were giving out free beer and popcorn.

It has taken most of us thirty plus years to feel good about ourselves. It seems that many people are only now starting to realize what we went through and appreciate what happened during those times. The truth about what happened is finally starting to come out as more and more veterans have started to tell their stories. At times I actually think that some of the anti-war people still think of themselves as some type of heroes. As a veteran, I view them in a different light.

I realize that no matter how much we write the display will remain as it is. My only suggestion would be to move anything which contains something about Jane Fonda to a different location. I think there was a place between the rest room doors. That way any of us could read it and then retire to a place where we could throw-up and not create any more work for the clean-up crews.
