I just saw this picture on face book, at the National veterans art museum they have a display containing the dogtags of every man and woman killed in Vietnam, It an amazing thing to see but also quite sad when you think about it

I've seen photos and videos of it before, but I imagine that it's even more impressive and evocative in person.

Yes, impressive.
I posted about it here:
58,000+ dog tags - a memorial.

Indeed you did. The smaller version I posted pics of from Boston in your thread, as it is outside tinkles in the breeze, quite an amazing sound and really adds to it.

I could well imagine, that the tags being outside is also very impressive
When one sees it and reqognizes it for what it is, the tags being outside and the sound they make might add another haunting dimension entirely.

They make a rippling chiming sound in the breeze, a very atmospheric sound. I filmed them but I don't think I can upload it here without posting it on youtube first.
