My early ideas and perceptions of Vietnam were and are shaped by the stories my older brothers, my friends and soldiers I knew told of the horrors of the war.

I know some people who have traveled to Vietnam in recent years and they talk of the natural beauty of the country

These photos bear that out

Enjoy

A couple of my friends have visited in the last couple of years and said that it was beautiful, safe and reasonably priced - they had both served in Vietnam and mentioned how utterly different the place and the people were from their memories.

I am so glad to hear that!

Vietnam was such a horrible place when I was a kid, growing up... I'm so glad that the country is back to its former beauty!

I agree it was the war live on television, and it was brothers and friends in harm's way not a place one thought about visiting at all
