Hey Ronnie. Did Teddy get that hat from some CIA guy he snuck into Laos in his Swift Olds? ;~))
Looks like he was only "half" the man he is today.

Thank you for posting my young Senator TED KENNEDY Vietnam Photo. He was on a October 1965 Congressonal Junket surveying the temporary displacement of Vietnamese Villagers resulting from our 1st Military Operations of the war.
The Hat he is wearing in the photo taken at our 1st Cavalry Airmobile Headquarters was given to him by the Australian Army Unit in-country he had toured before us.
This was all long before TED KENNEDY went a "little" crackers, of course.
