For what it is worth

[db-2]

Monday the 29th is Vietnam veteran's day:

For me a thank you is not what i want as it happen over 50 years ago for me and many gave, some a lot more than i did, but would like for all to reflect on that day and what it may mean to you.

The thanks from me if that this country gave me the opportunity to answer the call. To use the training i received in basic, AIT and other schooling in the field of battle. To have serve when i know there were some that were unable but willing and for some who refuse this serves to our country. Maybe in the end they were right but not for all those that went.

The conflict had little meaning for me other than personal and i regret feeling that way but it is what it is. My memories are good and as i get older i begin to wonder more as to the why.
But again take a moment. thank you

But for the grace of God and a friend in Admin, I was mustered out rather than assigned to the 11th Air Assault. He sent me home from Korea on a troop ship rather than by air. Arriving in Oakland with less than 90 days i was home drinking beer with the round eyes when persons with my MOS (chopper crew chief) were extended. I still have survivors guilt.

db Hope you have a great day today. Vietnam was a long time ago but still remember how I met some great people there. I served on the rivers in 1970 and hope I helped save some lives of my fellow Vietnam veterans. War is never a good thing there are always victims and it takes a special person to give up everything for there country. God bless all our brothers who gave there lives for our country and god bless all that served in Vietnam.
