Tremendous account of combat, up-front and personal! Its amazing how combat will change a Man’s outlook on life! Everyday battles are Chronicles of Heroics, Loss and Camaraderie! Always, the ending is the same: “I’m sure glad I survived” and “I’d give anything to serve with those brave Men again”!

I found, most comforting, the description of your captured, wounded, enemy assisting in your evacuation. I”ll bet you would love to know what happened to him.

Thanks!

"I”ll bet you would love to know what happened to him."

I really would - I went to Vietnam as a tourist with my wife in 2000 and nobody knew who he was - apparently, he was from "out of town". I really wanted to buy him and his family dinner!
