"I saw MG Luong‘s patrol cap and the shoulder straps in the museum. He was one of the best generals, and I was honored to serve under his command."
"Was a fun experience among the other little places to visit in the park, learned a lot of things that I didn't know about those that arrived here during and after the Vietnam war. Great information for school projects"
"Amazing place to have the history about the boat people of Vietnam. My heart was dropped and my eyes were filled with tears when i saw the real boat, which thousands of people had used to escape Vietnam to find the freedom land. The sad news is half or two third of them couldn't make it, my condolences for those and their family"
"A small museum that has displays of a lot of props from Vietnam war. Unfortunately most of the descriptions are in Vietnamese only and not translated. The museum also has a small souvenir shop."
"Good place to learn some history about the boat people of Vietnam. They really should organize it better with more a historical story line and some fact-checking to tell the true stories behind the exhibits as opposed to only looking at medals and uniforms. While it was nice, if you weren't raised in a Vietnamese family, you probably wouldn't know what the stories behind some of the exhibits are."
