Absolutely heart-breaking! I love it. Thanks. :)
I have a friend who was the model for a statue we have at our Veteran’s Museum for the Vietnam Vets. I visit ‘him’ from time to time. ;)
When I was a ‘Trainee’ in Army Basic Training, I had such WONDERFUL instructors...all were Vietnam Vets, and I owe them a debt of gratitude to this day.
