9May07.jpg

I went to the Vietnam Memorial yesterday and I saw this man there. He was holding his hand on the wall and just talking. I asked him if I could get a picture of him and h said yes, after this shot, I asked him who he was talking to, he said "I never met my Dad, and today is his birthday. Every year I come here to say happy birthday." Something like that always makes me apprecite my family even more.
