Serenity - IV Corps War Zone

Summer 1968 to Summer 1969

Although the combat was intense on many occasions, there were days during our tours of duty that had special meaning to we combatants.  With this page I share a few glimpses of the beauty that shone down from the heavens to give us a sense of peace amidst the terrible darkness. You who were there will recognize these serene moments captured forever with my little instamatic camera.
