The museum is in a park like setting beneath an imposing tower. American flags arrayed in front of the building made approaching the building even more impressive today than normal. The Flags of Forgotten Soldiers represent the 140 veterans lost to suicide each week.

Trenches were a huge part of World War I and they show up quite a bit in the museum with head-sized hole for peering through. Barbed wire was high tech at the time as were screw in posts to allow stringing it quietly during the night. Then higher tech tanks came along to roll over the wire. Lots of inventions to, as Will says, "kill you in a new way."

I watched an orientation film is a smallish room when I first entered the main part of the museum. The last photo here is where a sort of "status update" film is shown beyond most of the displays. The audience is separated from the screen by a life-size diorama of a few soldiers walking through devastated land with some devastated equipment strewn about. My guess is those soldiers are probably devastated too.
