Captured enemy equipment from Vietnam Conflict. Although for "Politically Correct" reasons the items are no longer so identified, the AK, the VC sandals and other clothing items were all taken off of a dead VC. I can't remember the exact story, but someone in the unit had a Mississippi connection and sent the items back home as souvenirs.

OK - that's it and I hope you enjoyed the tour. As you can see, pretty decent museum and I encourage everyone to stop by if you are in the area.

Interesting Museum, but I see a few clunkers in the mix. Too bad, takes away from the other wonderful items displayed.....but of course, only one of a thousand visitors would know the differance!
