Self Portrait at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial - Washington DC

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC is a quietly dramatic remembrance inscribed with the names of those who gave their lives in this conflict -- many of whom would have been my age today. It is always a sobering experience.

My get-pushed challenge for a self portrait was the winner for challenge-212!

@joysabin @pistache @carolmw @ducasrouge @lynnz @linnypinny @milaniet @farmreporter @jocasta Thank you for your comments on this. This was a very personal moment for me and self-portraits are not my forte so I was moved that this was chosen as the winner of the get-pushed-212 challenge.
