actually, no, i didn't. i was researching pablo picasso's painting Guernica and read that it was marred with the words Kill Lies All by tony shafrazi during a protest against the massacre in My Lai. while looking up the massacre i learned of the heroism of Glenn Andreotta, Larry Colburn, & Hugh Thompson. glenn's heroism struck a chord with me.
Glenn was my cousin. Thanks for posting these photos. We were only a few months apart. He went off to Viet Nam and I to college in Nebraska. I have never seen the picture of him in bed with the dog. Where on earth did that come from. I had that picture of him in uniform given to me as an 8X10 from his Dad. I made copies for the piece Mike Wallace did for 60 minutes on their heroic acts of that day. Anything else that you may have please share it with me. (jim.andreotta@gmail.com)
Thanks for the photos of Glenn. What a true American hero. Did you know him?
