A traveling photo exhibit at Onondaga Community College aims to show the Vietnam War through the uncensored and intimate lens of military photographers.  We caught up with Vietnam Veteran Marion Ervin, who served as chief executive officer of the Army’s 185th Maintenance Battalion  from 1971 to 1972.  He says he was one of many who served in Vietnam in a non-combat role.
