I can’t imagine...
Thank you for your service.

I've read that Hill 724 at Dak To was one of the bloodiest battles in Nam. It took me years to accept that the war had changed me. I'm at peace with it now. I hope you are also.

Have you seen this FB page? https://www.facebook.com/groups/195558932329/

Yes. I follow that page and a couple of others. My old outfit has it's own web page too. http://www.ivydragoons.org/

I finally got some peace after the VA gave me some PTSD and Agent Orange disability after the changes Trump put in place that cleaned up their mess. I get really good care there now with very little to none wait times.

I'm now rated at 100% disability, permanent and total, from the VA for AO exposure related health issues and PTSD.

Did you get kicked off FB recently for using the term "raghead"? I may have you confused with someone else.

Froggy-- well said, I share the same sentiments and growing up reading books about Vietnam definitely was a catalyst toward my eventual military service.

The difficult dates, never forgotten, help stoke the fire that keeps them alive in our memories!

Yep. I'm guilty

Very powerful post. I didn't go to Nam but I spent Nov '66 to Nov '67 in Thailand, loading ordnance on planes to hit the up-north strike zones in Nam.

Thank you sir for your service and your brother's ultimate sacrifice. My dad served in the Army- Da Nang 67'-69', but talked about missons in Phnom Penh (Cambodia)... He came home, but Nam ultimately took him from me when I was 5.

Thank you for your service and theirs. Today's American doesn't truly understand sacrifice.

[Big Lee]

Thank you sir for giving so much of you for me and my family. We may never meet, but I will forever be thankful for those of you who give me this life in this country.
