点评:Was not expecting this museum to have such a great collection of historical memorabilia. This place is fantastic! Once you get inside, you can see how much more of a collection there is than what it looks like from the outside. They have a lot of surprising artifacts that I have not seen in other museums we have visited in the past. It contains actual uniforms, boots, etc. that were worn by the original soldiers during the wars they represented while they were in the military. There were a lot of pictures of the soldiers holding or standing next to some of their original uniforms, etc. where the soldiers had visited the museum in their later years of life and it was inspiring to see that connection they still had with their past. The gentleman that was in charge of the museum when we were there was great, very helpful, informative and he showed us some of his original uniform, supplies and accessories that he actually wore in Vietnam. He was very interactive with everyone that was visiting the museum and that is something I have not really experienced at any other memorial, museum, etc. that I have visited throughout the country. We were at the museum for about 1.5 hours, but I could have spent another hour or more looking at all of the great items they have hidden in this national treasure in a small town here in Indiana. If you get the opportunity, we highly recommend that you visit this museum as I would not hesitate to go back and visit it again as there are probably several items that we did not get the chance to see.
翻译:我原本没想到这家博物馆会收藏如此丰富的历史纪念品。这个地方简直太棒了!一进入馆内,就能发现里面的藏品远比从外观看起来的要多得多。馆内有很多令人惊喜的文物,都是我们以前参观过的其他博物馆里未曾见过的。这里陈列着当年士兵们服役期间所穿的制服、靴子等实物。有很多照片拍的是士兵们手持或站在自己当年的军服旁边,这些士兵都是在晚年时参观了博物馆;看到他们与自己的过去依然保持着这种联系,真是令人感动。我们参观时负责讲解的那位先生非常棒,既热心又博学,他还向我们展示了他自己曾在越南战场上穿过的军服、装备以及各种配饰。他与每一位参观博物馆的游客都互动频繁,这种体验在我参观过的全国其他任何纪念馆或博物馆中都未曾有过。我们在博物馆里待了大约1个半小时,但其实我还可以再花一个小时甚至更久来欣赏这座位于印第安纳州小镇上的“国家宝藏”中所陈列的众多精美展品。如果有机会的话,一定要去看看。我们强烈推荐您去参观这座博物馆。我个人也毫不犹豫会再次前往,因为很可能还有不少展品我们没能有机会看到。
