Remembering the Fallen
June 13, 2008
Ogden - Vietnam veteran Wayne Oster, of Clearfield, takes in a quiet moment before laying a rose at the name of a fallen comrade engraved on The Wall That Heals, a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
I introduced myself only after taking this photograph. I had noticed Wayne walking with purpose to the wall and didn’t want to disturb him. Very gracious underneath his leather and tattoos, he apologized in a cracking voice that he couldn’t talk about what happened over thirty years ago. It was just too emotional.
