This is Hoan, a 21-year-old Vietnamese woman who
lives in Ho Chi Minh City. She is a Third Generation
victim of Agent Orange. She and a group of other
Agent Orange survivors traveled to the United States
in 2008 to raise the awareness of Vietnam's struggle
to receive compensation from our government's use
of Dioxin during the war. Their tour involved speaking
in ten American cities. I took this picture of Hoan while
the group was visiting in Pittsburgh. They were viewing
a monument near an American Legion building. When
I saw the American flags next to the building, I thought
this image was appropriate to its true criminal past.
