Welcome home to all, and Thank You for serving.
In country '69-'72 USMC with MACV-SOG CCN out of DaNang. Landing in Saigon on 25 Dec '69. What a Christmas present. huh?
I am not going to complain about VN or anything else. I volunteered (dumb) to go over but with my MOS I was going to go any way.
RIF'd out of the Corps, joined the Army, and stayed in until retirement.
Best thing I did because to train your troops on how to survive, you had to talk about your experiences. Great therapy (talking about it).
I did how ever get crap thrown at me when we came home. Spent 2 days in the brig for beating the crap out of the guy that threw it.
No matter when or where we or those before or after us have or are still serving, we need to show our support for them. Many of you do that with "hands-on" support with USO, Legion, VFW or other organizations. For those that are hesitant to get really involved, just saying Thank You to those you know have served, IS supporting. Check out the organizations like "Red Fridays. org", "Beyond the Yellow Ribbon", "Blue Star" banner for your family that are serving, etc. It is all greatly appreciated.
Now I'll get off my soapbox.
Ride safe. Pops
Lakota, thanks for being there. I hated those damn tunnels. More than snakes. But, snakes in the tunnel.............
