Excellent depiction of a war re-enactment - with boots on the ground. Realistic, energy filled, heart pounding. I work with combat veterans - I hear of their nightmares, cold sweats, hyper vigilance, emotional numbness and inner rage. My heart goes out to them. Thank you for sharing.

I am honored to work with our veterans and I am humbled at their sacrifice to our country and her freedom. GOD bless them all.

Australia has always stood with the U.S. as a steadfast partner. Along the way many have died, and you are correct, many still suffer in silence. I was in Vietnam in 1965 and 1966 and when I think of the young people lost in that war, I question if it was really worth it. It is nice that there are displays like this Mary, and thanks for sharing.
