[William Tell]

Fifty years ago today I had been home for two and a half years. I always tell people that I had been in the safest place at the safest time in RVN.

I never expected to be this old nor did I ever expect how fast I got here.

Hail all these heroes, thank you from a formerly free country. I was Chicken Doodie and joined the Coast Guard at 17 years of age, before my first date or anything. Now all my friends at the gun club are in their seventies and eighties, and almost all of them went to ‘Nam’. Much respect to all who served in SE Asia.
