Through my Father's Eyes
My father is a Vietnam era veteran, but did not serve in the war. He was based out of Ellsworth AFB then Amarillo AFB from '58 to '62, but knows some who went to war. He asked me to find a name on the wall. Not only was I able to locate the name, but I did a name rubbing to send my father as well. By capturing these images, I was able to experience this memorial through my father's eyes. I believe there's something special to be found in the "shadow people" seen in some of these photos.
