To mark the opening of the Newseum’s newest exhibit, “The Marines and Tet: The Battle That Changed the Vietnam War,” the Newseum looks back at the 1968 Battle of Huê´, the bloodiest single battle of the Tet Offensive and a turning point that changed the course of the Vietnam War.
This new exhibit features 20 large-format photographs and 10 tactile versions of John Olson’s original photographs taken at the battle with touch-activated sensors that provide audio interviews that allow visually impaired visitors to experience the images through touch and sound. Artifacts from the Marines in Huê´ will also be displayed.
Program panelists include John Olson, a former photographer with Stars and Stripes, whose photographs are featured in the exhibit, and veterans A.B. Grantham, Myron Harrington and Robert Thompson who fought in the battle.
Mark Bowden, best-selling author of the book “Huê´ 1968: A Turning Point of the American War in Vietnam,” will moderate the conversation.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
