1960ish Ann Margret in Vietnam

Richard (my husband) never really talked a lot about his time in Vietnam, other than he had been shot by a sniper. However, he had a rather grainy, 8 x 10 black and white photo he had taken at a USO show of Ann Margret with Bob Hope in the background that was one of his treasures.

Immigration

This is THE BEST piece I’ve seen. Definitely watch if you have any free time at all.

“The border crisis is not new. Children have been dragged across the dangerous desert terrain by their parents — or smugglers — for years, and no one seemed to care.
