## Caption

Yesterday, I traveled to Kokomo to photograph one of the country's largest gathering of Vietnam Veterans. Hundreds of veterans fill the property, and camp out for three nights. They call the grounds the "Healing Fields." It was an experience that I will never forget. I didn't know much about the conflict, but these men welcomed me into their camps, told me their stories, shared their food and treated me like an equal. #NikonUsa #NikonNoFilter #D4 #Indiana #Kokomo #Vietnam #VietnamVeteran #Veteran #VFW #HCVVO #Army #Navy #Marine #AirForce #ArmedForces #SunSet #AmericanFlag
