Artifacts

The men during the Vietnam war carried many things, most of the things they carried were necessities.  In most cases, they also carried things which had personal meaning and defined who they were.  These objects, varied from pictures to letters items found during the war or brought from home.  In many cases they helped to keep some semblance of sanity in the carriers mind and helped to create a "safe" place during the stressful and dangerous war.  The memory that these objects represented was that of loss and great sacrifice.
