Devil’s Brigade veteran Don Harrell examines the gun he used in WWII, and that he continues to possess, even though his wartime injuries almost drove him to kill his mother and himself. (story by Kyle Kulish)
Editor: After publication, a letter-to-the-editor writer, a third-year law student and Vietnam veteran, said the gun was cocked and dangerously (suicidally) directed toward Harrell’s face. Ian Roy argued that publishing the picture was dangerous to any other depressed veteran who might who might be contemplating suicide.

Flower Power is a photograph taken by American photographer Bernie Boston for the now-defunct The Washington Star newspaper. Taken on October 21, 1967, during the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam’s “March on The Pentagon”, the photo shows a Vietnam War protester placing a carnation into the barrel of a rifle held by a soldier of the 503rd Military Police Battalion. It was nominated for the 1967 Pulitzer Prize.
