VIETNAM
1959 • 1975

Remember us - we were just kids - the most of us - not militant, not warriors, and certainly not men but trying just as hard as any can imagine to be so; just ordinary guys like you;

and had we made it home we would be ... standing where you stand, quiet with the thoughts you think no different - the same; just guys looking to be home.
