Thank you Bill Posted on December 15, 2017 A man named Bill holds a photo that was taken during his basic training just prior to shipping off to Vietnam. Portland Oregon, May 2012 Bill tells me his story about serving in Vietnam. He says he was a platoon leader who lost most of his men in a single fire fight. He warns me about how important it is to keep track of your kids. Closeup of his 1969 marine boot camp portrait. Camera: Canon 5D May, 2012 Share this:TweetMoreEmailShare on Tumblr
