Viet-Nam war was 1959 thru 1975. If you had boots on the ground in Nam, no matter how long or what you did, you would be a Nam Vet.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
Nope, No boots on the ground there...
In my mind there are 2 types of Viet Nam Vets...
1] Boots on the ground.
2] Air Force fly over. Navy Off shore.[saved my bacon a few times]
Then there's something called Viet Nam era vets ;ie In the military the time of the war but not in country..

2019 Tri-Glide.......
Me too! I have a respect for the "era" vets as well as they were willing enough to serve their country, they were either lucky enough or smart enough to avoid that mess...
And some had pull....
And that's all I'm going say about that.

I know why we were there. You all do too, same reason we're always there, somebody's gotta do it, and most of all for each other.
OPNAVCOMMO Pentagon, me and Zoomie, then USS Dixie AD-14, one WESTPAC and out.
"REMF's" I think we were called, it just happens that way in some lifetimes, next time maybe not so lucky.
Thanks to all, and Press on Brothers

After shrapnel from 2 b40 rockets, 4 sks bullet wounds and a knife wound to my inner thigh I made it home.
11 months 23 days in the hospital and 23 days in a comma. The Lord was looking after me for sure.
I still relive this more than I care to.
Only medal I care about is my purple heart. Built a custom bike as a rolling memorial.
Never at a show, wasn't built for that. Only for display anything veterans.
My purple heart being presented to me again. My first one was stolen 35 years before this.
