Local documentarian explores the legacy and cost of the Vietnam War by C. S. Satterwhite
Walking up to Wall South at Admiral Mason Park, the smallest statue is of a little child with a sad look upon her face. This “Homecoming” monument recognizes military families, especially the children, and is “Presented by the Children of America’s Twentieth Century Heroes.” For many military children, however, there was no homecoming. For thousands from the Vietnam War in particular, there was no return of their fathers. Jill Hubbs was one of the children whose father never returned.
