... sides had cameras ready? How did those camera men not get killed in all the chaos? It was pretty amazing.
After the film, we walked through the museum, beginning at the end of World War I with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. I recognized the picture because it was done in the Hall of Mirrors. Also, Eisenhower was in the picture at a big desk signing a fancy looking piece of paper.
It was at this picture that Haley and I became friends. ...
