photos by José F. Ponce

And that raises the question that must be unsettling to many of the purported champions of (and predators upon) the "expat community" --- What DOES an American look like? Vietnam Veteran José F. Ponce went to the Fourth of July celebration put on mainly by the VFW at the Balboa Yacht Club with his camera and brings back this visual report.
