On a trip to Naperville, Illinois, I photographed the "Healing Field of Honor" flag display covering Rotary Hill for the Veterans Day tribute honoring the 58,000 troops killed in the Vietnam War. Seeing the thousands of flags on display, along with the Vietnam War traveling memorial wall, was a very emotional experience that renewed my gratitude and thanks to all military veterans.
