Larry Burrows (1926-1971) was an English photojournalist best known for his pictures of the American involvement in the Vietnam War.
In October 1966, on a mud-splattered hill just south of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Vietnam, LIFE magazine’s Larry Burrows made a photograph that, for generations, has served as the most indelible, searing illustration of the horrors inherent in that long, divisive war — and, by implication, in all wars.

Not a lot of brutalities there. Beautiful photos, taken at great risk no doubt, but completely sanitized view of the utter,visceral horror of war

Under the fear of the spread of communism the brave young men of our country honored their country's call to service in Viet Nam. They were unfairly treated when returning to our country for their courage and sacrifce. They are my heros!!
