Have a break, have a.. - Cu Chi Tunnels, Vietnam



There is also life above ground for the Vietnamese when there is no imminent danger.



Aside from collecting undetonated bombs for recycling as traps, they would usually find themselves lounging on a hammock or chitchatting.



The soldiers also take time to write diaries or send letters to their families.



Even if they're on a break, the soldiers always have their weapons ready. Just in case.

These are all just manikins that we take souvenir photos with. However, we forget to realize that the message these manikins are trying to tell us is that real people were involved in the war. These soldiers have their own dreams, own families and own lives to celebrate. They are also human beings.

There still small wars being fought in many different places around the world. Let's not forget to always pray for peace in our beautiful world.
