Yesterday at the cemetery, when we were putting up flags on the vets graves, the children were breaking acorns in half and putting them on top of the stick of the flag. They told me they were "helmets". Kids are so sweet and compassionate. I can't wait to get my pictures developed and posted here.

Souris, your pictures were wonderful. Thanks for finding them.

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.

Thanks spook. Kids are so special. The picture you posted says it all. I am so numb by all of the emotion lately, but Sam knows how to strum the strings of my heart that I didn't know were there. You all do with the magnificent posts. Sam, I hope you will continue focusing on Vietnam. There is so much to ponder and learn from that era.
