40 Years ago...Vietnam

Today ( 04/30/2015 ) Forty Years ago US Forces moved out of Vietnam.
Always remember all Vietnam Veterans and those who gave their all.

Thanks to all that served there.

This past January it was 45 years for me since I was in the Air Force. You know some memories are better forgotten.

Sully, I will always remember those that did and did not come back. Many of the returning wounded stopped at the US Army Hospital on Guam while I was serving aboard subs pre-May 1976. We'd make the bus driver honk and we'd wave on our way from Anderson AFB on the south end of the island to the Navy base on the north end of the island.

I saw many a small boat stuffed to the gills with humanity come into Aphra Harbor, Guam, with Vietnamese escaping after the fall. As over packed as each of these boats were with refugees I often wonder how many boats sank and did not make it as far as Guam?

I'll never forget the evening when I sat in my own living room to watch the news and witnessed the NVA tanks roll into Saigon. It made me cry for all the brothers we'd lost for nothing. It felt worse than when we all got laid off from the one and only job I ever truly loved.

What I think is sad....that there are those in life today who still do not realize that the reason they have an opportunity today to speak their mind is for the THOUSANDS who gave their all. In GOD`S eyes, no life is worth nothing. During The Nam era I was in the 54th Combat Engineer Battalion, and proud of it.
