Help Bring History to Portland We need your help to bring two incredible exhibits to the Oregon History Museum. The first exhibit, Marking Time: Voyage to Vietnam, presents the thoughts and lives of Vietnam soldiers through the graffiti they left during their travels to war. These pieces of graffiti provide context to the lives of these young men, who left personal messages, names of wives and girlfriends, and poetry on the walls and canvas of their sleeping stations. This exhibit also features other possessions uncovered during excavation, including books, magazines, and playing cards, which help define the lives of these individuals.
