Yup August 1968. I had my orders for MACV cancelled before departure for reassignment to CONUS; presumably for a European assignment. Never left Newark, NJ.
The Red Menace was operating with the knowledge the presidency was in limbo given LBJ had decided to not run and the nation was in the midst of political turmoil.
I’m glad you missed Nam.
I should have added LBJ bowing out.
It was really a crazy year.
