Christmas Eve 1968 I received my draft notice.

Luxury. I was already toughing it out in Nam. See Post #42.

I was in the far North end of the Gulf of Tonkin on my destroyer Christmas '68

Johnson had ended Rolling Thunder Oct 31

We were "up there", alone, with no backup.

Distance to shore was less than 1/2 mile or closer.
