Adam Ferguson's excellent photography brought it all back home [Oct. 12]. Medevacs removing the wounded, sentries monitoring the perimeter, soldiers shaving with whatever was available--Vietnam all over again.

...It’s definitely been a rollercoaster ride. You live and learn. There are mistakes I’ve made, but I’m okay with it,” he says. “I’m pretty proud of what I do.” But Darkhawk, who still lives at home, can’t really say the same for his parents.
