The son of a Vietnam vet visits a memorial.
The son of a Vietnam war Veteran visits the National Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. and finds himself meditating not only on the war and his proximity to it as the son of one of its many veterans, but also on his country's attitude towards and portrayal of the war in its memorials and popular films, the effects of the war on the children of its veterans, and on a vanishing narrative about fathers and sons and a way of life.—Anonymous
