Charlie Houghey was drafted into the US Army in October of 1967. He was 24, and had been in college in Michigan before running out of money and quitting school to work in a sheet metal factory.
Tony Hall's insight:
I have a morbid fascination with war photography. I'm not sure why. Robert Capa's images are mind blowing. And I'm sure most people have seen Nick Ut's photograph of Kim Phuc as she runs naked & burning down a country road. I have photograhy books with images from places like Phnom Penh (when the Khmer Rouge took power in 1975) and Changi POW camp in Singapore (shot in secret by an Australian soldier).
Charlie Houghey's images of Vietnam are both moving and haunting. I cannot even begin to imagine what people went through in times like those. Nor do I want to. Having two grandfathers who served in WWII, I think it is important that we always remember those that were involved in events like these.
Lest we forget.

I have scooped posts about war photography before. This perhaps doesn't qualify as war photography but it is very interesting indeed. My wife said "it looks healed".
