Find out your folk’s unit and when they served, important, you’ll be glad you did. They may not talk much about it but when you find out their units, surf the web and dig out the history of those units, then you’ll start appreciating them even more.
Regards,
Dad has actually compiled a series of bound journals that document his entire military career. I'm sure there's one that covers his war experiences in Vietnam.
When I last visited with him in April this year, he showed me some of the early ones. They brought back a flood of memories for me.
He's intensely proud of his military career, and so are all of his children. Thanks for the tip.
I’d have to find HIM first....he hasn’t cared to find me since I was a child. Frankly, I just don’t care.
