An amazing Man as well as an artist and a Vietnam Veteran

Everyday in this profession we get to meet cool people, today I had the chance to meet and photograph a truly amazing man. Having the chance to photograph a man like this was an honor. He wore his VietnamVeteran hat from serving in Vietnam and one of the students in the class said, Thank you for your service, he responded by saying " No one ever said thank you to him until a few years ago, that hit me like a ton of bricks, the reality of what that generation of people have endured out of shear ignorance by those which did not support the troops that served in Vietnam.... Thank you Paul for your years of Military service and also for allowing me to photograph you. I hope you enjoy these images.
