The Marines and Tet exhibit debuted January 26th at the Newseum in Washington DC. Sponsored by the National Federation of the Blind and Nikon, the exhibition features 20 photographs taken during the Battle of Hue in February 1968.

Accompanying many of the photos are audio accounts of the house-to-house combat as told by the Marines that fought the battle of Hue.
