It was an honor to serve this country. My family has been involved in almost every war of this country. I happened to be assigned to something new and we knocked down 100,000 acres of jungle in 8 months. The last operation I was on in Viet Nam there were 47 Bronze stars 35 Army Commendation decorations, and 9 Purple Hearts.
I received an Army Commendation medal out of these.

"Choking dust, clouds of stinging insects, biting monkeys, trees and enemy rockets crashing from above, tunnels collapsing under foot— in temperatures reaching 130 degrees—were all in a day’s work for the 60th Land Clearing Company, which carried out its missions undaunted, guided by the unit motto, “Guts, Skill and Spirit.” Largely unheralded and forgotten, land clearing units, in Vietnam nicknamed “Jungle Eaters,” were often ahead of the frontlines, destroying the enemy’s most valued weapon—heavy cover—and blazing the way for infantry and armor."

Thank you, sir, for your service. God Bless you.

Hubby was in Nam also, lost a lot of friends over there.

He was a Staff SGT in charge of a mortar platoon.
He has a few of those medals.
He tried his uniform on last year to help a friend do a catering job to escort ladies.
IT FIT!!!

When Bob Hope came, he sent everyone to see the show, he stayed back.

When a truck pulled out in front of us 2 years ago, he turned the wheel so he would take the brunt of the crash.

After 57 years I think I will keep him, give him another 57 years anyway.

He is and has always been my hero.

Heartfelt thank you, mountainlion....and, to your dear hubby, sweetie.

They sure don’t make ‘em, or many, anyway, like you two, anymore.
