You did good Marine, really good. I salute you every time I meet up with any PH Marine brother or other service veteran showing PH on their cover or even license plates. I was on the flightline in Danang in 67 & 68 pumping fuel and patching up ground fire holes in silver Marine C-130s. I stood very near the many stretchers with KIA Marines in body bags as they waited for Grave Registration to arrive to get them ready for their trip home. As an electrician, I wasn’t regular air crew so my Viet Nam was a basically the tarmac where our C-130s taxied in from runs to supply ordinance ( and beer) and retrieve KIA from combat bases in I Corps. I always knew there were “real” Marines out there hauling the heavy load. Thank you, Brother. I am close with about 150 veterans from all theaters and also with 50 Marine Corps League brothers and Corpsmen here in Loveland, Colorado. Wish we had you with our units here, hope we’ll be in the same unit in our final duty station. Robin - Sgt USMC
Thank you for all you did during our war - you had your own corner on tough duty.
