Many people toured the exhibit during the day. We met the VA Coordinator for the College along with several active duty Service members. Many walked slowly through the boots pausing to read personal momentos left by family with the boots. One student, recently discharged from the Army left personal momentos with two pair of boots representing buddies with whom he had served.
One young woman thought the exhibit was "disrespectful" but she did not explain what was disrespectful about it. A few art students stopped by to take pictures to use as research for paintings.
We screened "The Ground Truth" several times during the day. Several students stood and watched the film from start to finish.
