Mr Do Ky's house, restored after the Son My massacre. Haunting photos in the memorial showed GIs setting fire to the houses and destroying crops, point-blank shootings with oversized weapons, piles of bodies. Relics included an umbrella skeleton, a bracelet, a glazed terracotta jar of rice, small round-bellied jars of fish sauce, a plastic crab toy, and a 500kg bomb dropped after the massacre to destroy evidence of the crime. |
