Michael F. Walsh is a Vietnam veteran who set out on a journey to visit Vietnam War memorials. This book includes many of these memorials and his reflections upon them.
This book includes over 240 black and white photographs of some of the most iconic war memorials he encountered. Collectively the memorials make a statement.
One version of history is that a large majority of citizens viewed those who returned from the war as less than noble; the accepted story is that many felt that the soldiers, sailors and airmen should have refused to serve their country in what they, the vocal minority, defined to be an unjust war. This book challenges that view.
The memorials were the result of uncounted numbers people who conceived, planned, and built them in grateful thanks for the services of those who returned and in memory of those who did not. These memorials, demonstrate the esteem they hold for all those who served their country.
