Just watched a rerun last night. Whenever I visit the Wall or its replicas, I always stop by Panel 3E and pay my respects.

Thanks for posting this. It’s hard to believe it will be 50 years ago in just 2 years.

Nov 1965 across the Ia Drang Valley in South Vietnam's Central Highlands and May 1969, where the US forces moved into the A Shau Valley in South Vietnam opening the Battle of Hill 937 (Hamburger Hill) are examples of the U.S. soldiers bravery and legacy. All those who participated are heroes.

I spent a year in Nam, 67-68, and I don’t know a day in the field where anyone thought it was a “walk”.

I knew a judge who was there, maybe 15 years ago. He never really got over it. By that, I mean he was still traumatized. I think he felt better talking about, at least I hope so.
I suppose after something like that, law school is nothing, but I spoke with him about it—he brought it up on an anniversary, and it still haunted him after all those years. He resigned early.
Any of you dealing with something similar, try talking about it if you meet someone who you think wants to listen.

Thanks for the posting
Of interest to me is where this Galloway piece was presented. And what else was going on here at that time which by the way if one was honorably discharged still could not join the American Legion or the VFW because it was not considered an active combat theater .
