Caption/Description

A distraught mother looks for a photograph to adorn her son's casket. She believes he experienced another of his frequent flashbacks, imagining he was walking into a Vietnam jungle. In reality, it was a lake and he drowned. More Vietnam veterans have committed suicide than died in action during the war.
