The photograph shows a group of soldiers from the Vietnam War era based on their facial hair and hairstyles. It is unclear if they have just returned home from Vietnam or are preparing to deploy, as the jungle background is missing. The photographer likely aimed to boost morale on the home front by capturing the soldiers smiling and happy despite fighting for their country. More context could be gained by searching military records and databases from the Vietnam War time period.

Who are the people in the photograph? Soldiers maybe American, Perhaps during Vietnam war? What is the situation of the people in the photograph? Provide evidence from the photo that tells you this. They look like they are from the Vietnam war but they don’t look to be in Vietnam at the time of the photo. I always see Vietnam pictured as a jungle type area so maybe they are in America. Perhaps they just returned from Nam or are preparing to depart. From the looks of their facial hair and the hair on their heads they seem like they would fit in the Vietnam war era. What message do you think the photographer was trying to convey? Probably trying to boost moral for American citizens by showing them their boy smiling and happy while fighting for their families. Why is this photograph important to history? It shows a candid, unprofessional, human side of a soldier at that time. What questions does this photograph raise? Where are they? What war are they fighting? Did they just come home or are they preparing to leave?
