Vietnam, I recall it well... it was just the other day. At 83, I have lived thru much what the young call history. Vietnam was a 20 year war, Nov 1, 1955 – Apr 30, 1975. Part of the nightly news every night.

During that period 1950-60 work began on Nuclear Powered Bombers. "Nuclear Energy for the Propulsion of Aircraft (NEPA) project, which conducted studies until the Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion (ANP) program..." Music Folk Songs were a big Part of the era of conflict at home. Faced with choices some "migrated" to Canada, others developed bone spurs, others served their country right or wrong... some did not survive and that is the message of the Memorial Park.

These are fine photos giving us a walk thru without going. Thank you for sharing Spectre .
