> I am officially crying. :)

Anyone who can look at both and not tear up is some kinda robot.

> Tears of joy for the POW of 30 years ago

The bad news: apparently he and the missus got a divorce within a year. I have no further info than that, but I guess after years in the Hanoi Hilton, it should not come as a complete surprise. However... on that one day in the photo, there was complete joy.

> tears of sadness and humility for the soldier and the little girl

There have been a number of good photos (sad, joyful, determined, brave, etc.) to come out of the war. Does anybody know if there is a website that's keeping track?

That's too bad, but you're right.

That's a good way to look at it. :)

Absolutely--I know I've seen some but can't remember the urls.

I'm pinging people that might know and I will browse through some stuff I have.

Calpernia, Tonk, Ragtime Cowgirl, do you know of a good website that has photos of the war?
