I have been given permission to post this by a very unique Marine Viet Nam veteran.
You see he is a Canadian Citizen that joined the United States Marine Corps in 1966 and served in Viet Nam from 1967 to 1968 and was awarded Combat Air crew wings.
Kinda Ironic isn't it? He came here to serve while others were going to Canada to flee.
The reason I am not making an image tonight is that I am waiting on clearance to make a special one and I made a larger version of my first one for a special purpose earlier.

Very moving post.
He came here to serve while others were going to Canada to flee.
Now many of those that fled are back and can be seen on the streets of our nation's capital on March 17th.

Could this beautiful photo of eagles by any chance be in Homer, Alaska?

Great post, Cobra. If I recall correctly from "Stolen Valor", one of the lesser known facts of the Vietnam War is that approximately three times as many Canadians came down here to fight as those Americans who went up to Canada to evade the draft. Gallant men.
