## Resource

Inside a Maryland warehouse, the National Park Service safeguards thousands of personal tributes left at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. These artifacts, ranging from handwritten letters to custom-made motorcycles, tell stories of love, loss, and remembrance. The collection, started in 1984, now includes over a thousand boxes of items, each with its own history. Recently, new details emerged about some artifacts, such as a reel-to-reel tape recording from a young pilot killed in action. The National Park Service continues to preserve these treasures, planning an education center to share these stories. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
