Your photo w/ Ted Kennedy cracks me up every time I see it!
I've been wondering about the story behind it. Care to tell?
.
In October 1965 a young Sentaor TED KENNEDY, before he went a bit off the deep end, toured Vietnam with other members of Congress to assess how our offensive Military operations were affecting Vietnam's War Refugee population.
One of the members of his Congressional junket was from California, as am I, so I was thus picked to be one of those Soldiers who greeted them at our 1st Air Cavalry Division Headquarters. Thus my TED & Me Photo.
This in the presence of our 1st Cav's Commanding General, Gen. HARRY W.O. KINNARD, who 20 years earlier brought us the famous World War II "NUTS" reply to the Germans' ultimatum of surrender during the Battle of the Bulge.
Lots of History there, Lots.
