Visit My Lai museum, village, go around the village and meet the local villagers to understand deeply about the past war. My Lai village has sadly become famous because of the mass murder of civilians during the US - Vietnam War. On 16th March 1968, the soldiers of the Charlie Company - 1st Battalion, the 20th Infantry Regiment and the 11th Brigade of the American Division entered into My Lai Village looking for the Viet Cong soldiers. Some American soldiers suspected that some of the enemies were hiding in the village, protected by the villagers. This led to a mass murder of over 300 unarmed civilians including women, children and elderly parents.

A Must See for all Americans - Our guide was so knowledgeable and SO kind. She answered questions we had regarding Vietnamese culture.
I enjoyed the film very much..It brought the massacre event to reality.

Educational and memorable experience - Well worth the 1-day visit. My guide, Thai, was very helpful in searching for other massacre sites outside of My Lai village, and we were successful in locating several. Even more fortunate, he found a survivor of the massacre, an elderly woman, who had been shot in the leg and back. She is now unable to walk. Unforgettable visit.
