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.
You might also thank him from me for raising one of the best FReepers here. I enjoy your posts, windflier.
