Life Magazine, The Faces of the American Dead in Vietnam; One week toll 6/27/69

Description: Life Magazine, The Faces of the American Dead in Vietnam; One week's toll 6/27/69 ... Pre-owned The Pentagon released names of those killed in one week (242) in 1969, from May 27th to June 3rd. The casualties were more than just a weekly number like typically found on page 5 of the local paper. For the first time the American public would see the young faces of those lost in the battle, much more real than just a number or weekly statistic. These men were more than a weekly stat, they were much more than that: they were son's, brother's, father's, husbands, grandsons, nephews, cousins, friends of so many. Life Magazine brought the Vietnam conflict up close and personal to the American public like never before with this one single edition of their magazine. This was one of the pivotal moments in the American publics" view about our involvement that had taken so many lives and would take many more (24,000) before we finally ended the bulk of our presence there in June of 1973 (all forces were not completely withdrawn until 1975). Also in this magazine is an interesting up close and personal view of a 20-year old King Charles (when he had just been Knighted the Prince of Wales)...some great photos and story on Charles as a young man. Magazine ships to lower 48 states of USA only.
