The Wall

The Wall

During the pandemic my husband was supposed to go on an Honor Flight which had to be cancelled. In 2023 he finally got to go and was particularly looking forward to seeing “The Wall” and seeing if he could find the names of friends who did not make it home from Viet Nam like he did. My daughter who went with him as his “guardian” took most of the pictures and he is in most of them so I extracted him from a different picture where she shot him taking a photo of a different memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. I felt it pulled together the story of this trip and his memories from that war.

Very well done @Macsandy. My daddy is a Vietnam Vet as well. He won‘t talk about that period of time. Thank you for sharing. And you did an excellent job of the extraction. I would have never guessed that it was two different photos!

My hubby doesn’t talk much about the war either. We’ve been together 54 years and I know just a few things about his time there. No one welcomed him home, instead he came home to having garbage thrown on him. The honor flight gave him some closure - especially when the honorees were greeted with a couple of hundred people waving flags and signs and calling ”Welcome home” every few seconds. God bless your Dad and give him peace.

My daddy did have pictures of that time that he let me look at. I wish I had copies of them. My daddy is in his 80’s now, but he was, and still is such a handsome man.
