Vietnam War. . . .  30 years later

After thirty years the images of the Vietnam war are still as vivid: remember the a US army helicopter scrambling to evacuate diplomats from the roof of the US embassy in Hanoi?; the mass protests against the war; napalmed children fleeing American bombs, their skin in shreds. Today, these veterans still suffer this time with other issues, for example, 200,000 Vietnam war veterans are homeless across America on any one night. And there are those that did not return. They died in a foreign war in a land far away. I dedicate this image of Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC to them and all who fought in that war.

Beautiful symmetry in this composition. Love the fresh greens. Works very well with the white tomb stones. Nice tribute...
