Click the link and take a look at these photos. They sent shivers down my spine.
As our globetrotting Secretary of State wrapped up her Asia tour today, the solemn mood and muted colors on the tarmac in Hanoi contrasted starkly with the explosion of exuberance and color that we saw in Seoul just a few days ago. In what was, I believe, a precedent, the Secretary of State accompanied, on her plane, the repatriated remains of American MIAs from Viet Nam.
These pictures of the repatriation ceremony could be mistaken for black-and-white but for the one splash of color – Old Glory draping the coffin. A few more guys are coming home with her. It is a good time to remind everyone: We were against the illegal war. We were NEVER against our soldiers! Welcome home, men, and thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Thank you, Mme. Secretary for your service as well. This is a fitting ending to your visit to Hanoi.
Thanks for the post. Yesterday, I posted there on Still4Hill's post.
I think Hillary looks totally presidential in those pictures. She is very moved by the ceremony and it shows on her face and in her demeanor. I was touched.
Again, thanks for the post.
