The Frozen Chosin Exhibit...This was one of our favorite exhibits. You walk into a closed room. The air conditioning is turned up and a wind is blowing. You can hear the enemy approaching...surreal...
CLICK HERE for a virtual tour...if video doesn't play, click "related media" and "immersion soundtrack"...this is what plays while you are in the exhibit.

  3. We are so lucky to have brave men who volunteer to serve. I am sure this exhibit is only a tiny taste of the things they have lived through.

  8. Gosh, in the video, there is gunfire and they are fighting even in the dark! What an idea to do this...I can't even imagine how awful it was.

  12. These dioramas are AMAZING! I can't get over the technical skill and artistry that went into each. It makes you feel like you are actually THERE!
