The Price of Freedom: Americans at War is a permanent display of objects related to every war Americans fought from colonial times to the 2003 war in Iraq. At issue is how that exhibition depicts the American wars in Vietnam and Iraq. Ten years before Price of Freedom opened, the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum planned an exhibition on the American bombing of Hiroshima that collapsed from controversy over whose war and which victims should be shown. The Price of Freedom cautiously focuses only on the American side of each war. The Vietnam rooms offer impressive American technologies while rooms dedicated to the American war in Iraq are remarkably absent of objects and seem barely curated.","PeriodicalId":405466,"journal":{"name":"Curating and Re-Curating the American Wars in Vietnam and Iraq","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116986921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of interest are memory-bearing objects communities of loss curate that show dead soldiers as ordinary people who lived civilian lives before and during their associations with the military and one of its two failed wars. In Arlington Cemetery, some ordinary curators have insisted on exhibiting their memories of killed family members and friends in violation of cemetery rules. A different, heroic framing of military loss is curated at the mobile Wall That Heals. All of these memory exhibits undertaken by “ordinary curators” re-curate aspects of the American wars in Vietnam and Iraq through civilian displays of the war they experienced.","PeriodicalId":405466,"journal":{"name":"Curating and Re-Curating the American Wars in Vietnam and Iraq","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132344666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
