• KOJI on Washington DC: Korean War Veterans Memorial: it is a balance of boring and interesting. I think you should have combined the posts together to make things go by quicker. All the museums and monuments in one and all the memorials in another would work better. But thank you for your efforts.

• Mistrmind on Washington DC: Korean War Veterans Memorial: Change the Vietnam post please. I’m not a big fan of revisionist history. We were not defeated.

• KayleeRay on Washington DC: Korean War Veterans Memorial: I’ve never been to Washington DC but have always wanted to take a trip up there just to go through all the museums and such. It sucks they wouldn’t allow pictures in the Holocaust museum! The memorials aren’t that interesting just because they are so sad and depressing to me and I’m not a person to dwell on it! I would love to see more food related posts again, though. ;D

• Mistrmind on Washington DC: The Vietnam Veterans Memorial: Ben, please revise your site with the correction that JimVetran wrote. We did not retreat nor were we defeated.

• JimVeteran on Washington DC: The Vietnam Veterans Memorial: Oops, I forgot in my earlier note… Ben wrote “the US suffered defeat in Vietnam”. That is a common misconception. The US left Vietnam in March of 1973 after all parties signed the Paris peace accords. It was an orderly and scheduled withdrawal in peace, not a defeat or retreat. We left our allies, the military forces of the Republic of (South) Vietnam (RVN) on their own. All US forces left except a small number of Marines guarding the US Embassy. In May, 1975, communist forces of North Vietnam swept south, overpowering the RVN forces. The picture that many think shows people leaving the US Embassy is that of an Air America helicopter on the roof of the Pittman apartment building several blocks form the embassy. The US military had been gone for two years, they did not retreat and the US did not “suffer defeat.”

• JimVeteran on Washington DC: The Vietnam Veterans Memorial: The Vietnam Veterans Memorial consists of two more pieces, a flagpole that was not part of the original design and a plaque that honors those who died after the war from indirect causes, as PTSD and exposure to toxic chemicals, specifically Agent Organge. I’m one of the volunteers who works on the web site named The Virtual Wall (TM) at http://www.VirtualWall.org
