Souris, your pictures were wonderful.

Same for yours SpookBrat...
Although I was a kid during the "conflict", I'll never forget one photo from (IIRC)
Life Magazine of two soldiers basically propping each other up...one was obviously
heavily wounded and the other one was consoling/helping him.
One was black, one white.
I'm not making any sort of statement...just recollecting what a powerful
photo it was and how back home so much strife was (in contrast) going on over
the issue of desegregation.
And how it was a non-issue for the military.

My husband went to Vietnam and served with the Air Police in Bien Hoa. He came back to the states and joined the Police Department. Not too long after that he was injured in the riots at UCSB when the Bank of America was burned by protestors. The violence that erupted across the nation at campuses of Universities was something that is hard to forget, but especially for those of us who saw our guys wounded on both fronts....in Vietnam and then here. Some were spat upon and humiliated. Authority was challenged and the Fonda ilk was there to litter our landscape with their filth and condemnation. To think that these people are being voted into office by supposedly "thinking" human beings is a joke. We must never forget Vietnam. We must never forget the Fonda's and the Clinton's and all of those who have brought such strife to our society. Sam! Please keep this up. Do Kent State. Do Bank of America. The Chicago 7. Hayden. Fonda. People need to remember and understand. And no one can highlight this stuff like you do. :)

Thank you. Nice to meet you. We are photo junkies in here. We enjoy finding them and putting them up. SAM is the best though. :) He has taught me everything I know.

Blessings!
