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.

A somber moment to pause and reflect - This was a great way to experience a tragic part of Vietnam’s history. Our guide Pham was full of local knowledge and made the trip so interesting. To stand in the Museum at My Lai was something I will never forget, to read the stories of what happened on that day and face the incomprehensible in a time when war is still raging in parts of the world. I think the part that moved me the most was the footpaths as you walk around the village, whick have preserved the bare footproots of the villagers and the treads of the GI boots.
