My Brother's War - 03-16-2010, 08:19 PM


A powerfull story by a woman whose brother served in Viet Nam, had a local girl fiance, returned to the states, and eventually killed himself. She searches her brother's past accompanied by photos she takes.

I want to say thanks for posting this site too. I was in country in 1969 and each picture brings back a flood of memories.
Thanks

The pictures stand alone and do not need the accompanying text...

Yet the Text stands alone and do not need the photos for strength.

Combined as they are -- it makes a very moving piece.

Thanks for posting. Since my favorite uncle recently committed suicide, this link had especially special meaning for me.
