Vietnam Veterans on Parade

When the Vorlon Wife and I were in Ocean City last Saturday night, they had a parade for the Vietnam Veterans. It was a small parade, but the people on the boardwalk clapped enthusiastically as they passed by. I found it quite moving.

I wondered what it must have been like when the came back from Vietnam. When people spit in their faces and called them “baby killers”. Their accolades have been a long time coming. It was a small parade, but I would guess it meant a lot to the old soldiers.

This photo was severely backlit, but I was able to salvage it anyway.
