Were waiting for this discussion on the vietnam wars tet offensive to get under way. Participating in the discussion tonight, mark bowden, the author of hue 1968, former Stars Stripes combat photographer john olson and three marines who fought in hue. Stand up for freedom, knowing well be free one day. I always think of the newseum as the home of freedom. I dont know where this nation would be. I dont know where i would be today without the guarantees of the First Amendment. Theres a war against information. Theres a battle over who controls information.

Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the newseums theater. Im chair of the moo newseum. Were here to mark the marines in tet, the battle that changed the vietnam war. This is almost the 50th anniversary of the tet offensive, which, if youre a millennial, ill explain it to you, was a coordinated offensive by vietcong and north vietnamese troops on more than 100 towns, cities and american and south vietnamese military facilities. It began on the night of january 30th, 1968. And i remember it well, because i was an intelligence clerk with mac fee at the time. Our exhibit showcases the work of john olson who, like me, was a young army draftee. He was a photographer for Stars Stripes, the militarys daily newspaper. And he spent three days in february with the marines as they took back the city of hue, in what turned out to be the bloodiest battle of the vietnam war. This innovative exhibit features 20 large format photographs and ten tactile versions of these photos with touch activated senso
