From the website "I am not a writer but would like to try to express my admiration for all infantry soldiers. I was one myself, many years ago. The hardships we had to endure just to do what was asked of us was hard. I was one of the lucky ones in the infantry. I got off line early because the veins in my legs were bursting from walking in all that mud. Many were the day that we threw caution to the wind and walked the dikes even though we knew that they were more likely to be booby-trapped. It was because; we were so tired from walking all day..."

From the webmaster - My name is Peter Leuhusen and have always had a fascination with the war in Vietnam. I grew up watching the conflict on TV from the comfort of my sofa in Sweden. I later went on to research and write numerous papers as well as a thesis on the Vietnam War whilst attempting to study in Boston and at Tulane University in New Orleans. I have had the pleasure of meeting, interviewing and most of all making friends with some of the veterans and each one of their stories has been amazing. This site is dedicated to people like Tim Page, who brought back these images at risk of their own lives, and to all the men, women and children that served in and perished in the Vietnam War.
