    The year was 1968, we were on recon in the steaming Mekong Delta, an overheated private removed his flak jacket revealing a t-shirt with an ironed on sporting the Mad slogan "up with mini skirts". Well we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it, but our momentary lapse of concentration allowed Charlie to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States but they just can't get the spices right!

    I enlisted in the Army in 1968 as soon as I turned 18. Got to Vietnam in May 1969, was there till Dec 1970. Coming back to the states was tough. I didn't mention being in Vietnam for many years. Never put it on a job application. I made 3 trips over there and came back each time through San Francisco. They yelled names at us (baby killer). None of us will ever forget. How can we?

    I was too young for Nam, but I enlisted in 1974 at 18. Did Infantry AIT at Fort Polk, OCS at Benning, followed by jump school. Then Ranger school and off to 1st Bn 75th Infantry Ranger (A) at Fort Stewart. Was selected to attend the SFOQC Q-Course at Fort Bragg in 1980 at the USAIMA Army Institute for Military Assistance (predecessor of JFKSWCS) earned my beret and went to 10th SFGA in Bad Tolz. I’ve been to Grenada, Panama and Kuwait (Saudi). I wound down my service first with COL Beckwith at standup of JSOC, then as a MAJ under COL Jerry King at Fort Belvoir in ISA.

    As a child I would have nothing but 60's and 70's music. I love every thing from rock to country, ballads many things. My daughter even recognizes Johnny Cash, Buck Owens. Hope she shows her kids one day. It's the greatest music.

      Wouldn’t really say it’s against war, it’s more about how some people can avoid the draft because they are rich, while the lower classes had no choice.

    I wish you all bright skies. I remember one moment when I was in school, about the eighth grade, we had a meeting with Afghan veterans, there were three of them, one of them was emotionally sad, he began his word with a minute of silence and let out drops of spleen, I never want to remember those events. You are very happy young generation Let there be no war and then fell silent then felt pain kept yourself🪖🪦
