My daughter brought back from Cuba (about 35 years ago) a button given her by a young North Vietnamese woman in Cuba at the time. The woman was the last survivor of a bomb disposal team in Hanoi. (The U.S. deliberately set some of his largest bombs not to go off on impact.) The pin (a DRVN flag) was made from the aluminum of a B-51 shot down over Hanoi. I still have it around the house someplace.
