Nam Vets
Seems to be quite a lot of us Nam Vets in this section.
With Veterans Day coming up, I thought to say:
WELCOME HOME!!
Something we didn't hear much back then.

Welcome home.
I first heard these words, for the first time, only a couple years ago. Was getting out of my car one day and an army wife came up, gave me a hug and said "welcome home". Said she knew I was a Nam vet from my license plate. Must admit I broke down on the spot.

I go out of my way to say thanks to our troops today.
Nobody had much use for us and it hurt.
I don't want that to ever happen to our people in uniform again.

it's been over 40 years coming. i do appreciate when at the v.a. they actually tell us, thanks for your service. for those of us who really didn't make it home, the body did but lots was left behind. glad to be back though, would have not done it any other way, no regrets. by the way, applebees has free dinner for vets on veterans day, and golden corral has free meal for vets around the 11th, just so you know.

11th armored calvery 1967-68 fire base Harry
did my time @ mostly @ Loc Ninh near Cambodia RSVN with the "Black Horse" Div .on operations Junction City, Fargo , TET 1968 on FIRE BASE HARRY . tHEY MADE A MOVIE about my life & base camp was "AIR AMERICA" with MEL GIBSON & ROBERT DOWNY jr. I was surprised as no one believed me about the temperature was about 42 - 46 deg. at nite on top of that mountain an 90 at day time . I slept in a sleeping bag at nite an mama thought I was nuts when I wrote an told her about the cold temps. at nite. the gooks killed our comanding two star general about the time I left . they shot his chopper down over our base with a lucky R.P.G. with his aid bird Colornel & pilot & co. the Gen. never had his feet on the ground @ our fire base ever ! the fly over was also to much as the N.V.A. took him out ! rest in peace ! I also got a year of debreafing for my duty with the 11th Cav. the war is always with you ! I,m old now an had a good life with hard work . I wish I could trade places with one of those young troopers as I have been there also . I think with a breifing I could be a valuable solder with all my years learnings. wel I must fess up I already tried to reenter an was turned down flat yep too old . I still think I would be a good adviser with a platoon or company. just an old solders thoughts. Bud
