Description: "The photograph of the handsome man in his uniform and hat hangs on the wall at her grandparents' home. The young girl has noticed it for years, but at a family gathering one Sunday afternoon, she finally asks her mother, 'Who is that man on the wall?' In this touching and true story, the girl discovers the identity of the man on the wall and learns about his life as he grew from a boy to a young man who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War. This is one family's story of love and loss and serves as a reminder of the more than 58,000 lives lost during this tumultuous time in our nation's history"--The publisher.
