"September 21, 1966 - USMC - Republic of Vietnam - KIA.
Until recently, this is how I knew my father. A few scattered facts, flowers on his headstone at the cemetery, and stories told by my mother that I couldn't or wouldn't hear. For over thirty years it was easier not to talk about it, not to confront it, and definitely not to feel it. Only after becoming a father myself did I realize the significance of my father's sacrifice and the importance of coming to know him for myself and my family. The result of this quest has become a fine art exhibition which is on display at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, VA." (See details here)
