I’ll never forget it now. Boots ... boots ... boots ... boots ... movin’ up and down again!
Col. Nick Rowe set up the SERE school at Bragg as he had been a POW of the VC since 1963 when he escaped in late 68. In fact, Rowe was promoted to Major during his 5 plus years as a POW in the U Minh Forest region of IV Corps. He came to our camp (CCS, MASCVSOG) on New Years Eve 68. I regret I missed him as I was with one of my platoons of yards plus a fine SF NCO west of Duc Lap. We had a recon team in trouble across the border, so; that was more important. Martha Raye was at camp in our club. I recall our XO saying he found a bottle of her favorite vodka. No problems. Glad they had a good time.
