This is a picture of my dad, one of the founders of the CIA and top advisor to JFK.

Photo's caption, National Geographic April 1968, 1st Lt. Carl M. Freeman III:

"Smiles of welcome light the faces of Mnong women and children at Buon Rocai as Lt. Freeman pays a surprised visit. Devoted to the people's welfare, the American helped reconstruct a bridge and rebuild a burned-out village; with the aid of U.S. Army medic Owen Wright of Dallas, Texas., he expanded medical facilities to treat the sick. After four months of intensive effort, Freeman collapsed of exhaustion and malaria. Now recovered, he commands the Special Forces team at An Lac."

@freemo thank you for this, I cling to any shred of hope for humanity these days.

@skanman There are shreds of hope? Can you point me to some of those please.
