I had made a slideshow- static.cnhi.zope.net/flashpromo/meadvilletribune/flashpromo/video/movingwall/index.html -of the opening ceremony with audio of an interview with a Vietnam Veteran standing just a few feet away from the wall.

I wasn't happy with the slideshow overall. The veteran's words were powerful, but my slideshow was not. I used too many photos, some just to show a part of the event and they really didn't capture anything that reflected in the veteran's words. Not so strong pictures tossed in with strong pictures really diminished the power of the presentation. This was a second attempt.

I felt it was important to make my telling of the story stronger, because of the strength of the subject. Its the most difficult thing, giving proper due to our subjects in the brief time our paths cross.
