Street_vendor.jpgVietnam: 2012 visit108 viewsStreet Vendor: I tried my hand at street vending, but decided retirement was still the best option for me!
IMG_5743.jpgThis was the "Freedom Bird" for me108 viewsMany of us came home to Travis AFB aboard C-141's. It was a real hoot to go back there
and take a tour of one of those planes. I've included a picture of me and the C-141 I came home on. It was taken at Clark AFB in the Philippines.
M-16.jpgVietnam: 2012 visit106 viewsM-16: My wife squeezes off a few rounds from an M-16. Note Vietnamese observer.
DY_Mem-2a.JPGAlso "worn"106 viewsKey phrases which we all memorized and knew how to pronounce. (hah!)
DY_Mem-2.JPGAlso "worn"106 viewsFront side: handling of prisoners.
The_old.jpgVietnam: 2012 visit105 viewsWe saw a lot of same methods used during the harvest season, but some new ones, as well. We were fortunate to be there for the harvest season so Linda could see what that was like.
The Old: We saw lots of water buffalo.
DY_Mem-1.JPGAlso "worn"105 viewsClose by to the OD underwear were some military mementoes that survived his tour in Nam. First page of the Code of Conduct.
Embassy_Wall.jpgVietnam: 2012 visit104 viewsEmbassy Wall: This is the wall that surrounded the US Embassy during the war. It was on the rooftop of the embassy that we remember helicopters flying US personnel and Vietnamese trying to flee the onrush of the North Vietnamese Army in 1975. That building has been torn down, and a US Consulate Building erected in its place.
DY_Mem-3.JPGAlso "worn"103 viewsA nickel's worth of MPC. If only we could find a PX in the combat zone. (And save on taxes, too!)
DY-1abc.JPGDon't Worry - we'll take good care of you103 viewsA template of a letter sent to the parents of all incoming draftees for basic training.
How personal can you get?
