Lin Evans Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 It's been nearly 40 years now since I came out of the jungles of Vietnam after two years of fierce fighting - many friends and brothers-in-arms didn't come back with me. Each year I remember those who were left behind, friend and foe alike, and wonder about the senselessness of it all as I see it repeated time and again. This is just my way of remembering, not just my war but all wars - not pretty but necessary.....http://www.lin-evans.net/pte/brothersinarms.zip (about 32 meg)Lin Quote

ADB Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 LinIts shows like yours that hopefully help the rest of us realize the horror, terror and waste of war and in doing so maybe make it just that little bit harder to start the next one.RegardsAndrew Quote
jfa Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 Thanks Lin, as the the poet and philosopher George Santayana said "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Quote
