| In a time where wounds inflicted upon Vietnam Veterans for their involvement in the Vietnam War, a group which is solely comprised of Vietnam Veterans, made a return trip to Danang and as part of a group called THE BAPTIST GENERAL CONFERENCE and KIDS AROUND THE WORLD, after allot of planning, permits, fund raising, and prayer the needed supplies and equipment were secured and shipped to Danang to build a playground in an area that once was the location of many battles during the war. The children present in the pictures were not even born during this time period but the adults that were present had the experience of the war in their heads. All of the Veterans did an excellent job but were uncomfortable in their surroundings, as you view the pictures, you will see the uniformed security personnel, but also the plain clothes security members of North Vietnam. The eyes tell the story, joy in some of the kids and the mistrust in many of the adults. |
