“Dear Prudence”.
I was cleaning a .50 cal machine gun when I heard that for the first time on AFVN. Overlooking the rice paddy that stretched from Hill 29 to the Redball twixt Danang and Chu Lai, deciding right then that I would remember that scene for the rest of my life.
“...The sun is up. The sky is blue....”
Seems like it was just there.
Thanks for your service.
My uncle was in Vietnam. I still remember the day he came home.
That memory is compelling!!! Care to elaborate a little more? How did you get there, who did you bunk with, what was a duty day (esp that day), etc.
Good Morning Viet Nam!
