I am 35 and was not there but my father was and I am very proud of him and all of you who were there. He was a SeeBee!

 

[Larry Phillips]

Too young. My grandfather and great grandfather were there.

My father was an Air Force engine mechanic. He was in some sort of cargo plane crash over there. He won't talk of it or anything else about Vietnam.

My father was drafted into the Army during Vietnam (1967), made 3 trips and got shot twice (once in the back and once in the knee) he also spent 4yrs in the middle east during desert storm. All and all he spent 26 yrs in the army and retired FINALLY in 1993. My dad use to have pretty bad flashbacks (hasnt had one in acouple yrs) and he never speaks of his time over there.

I am curretnly serving, but was not in Vietnam. For those that did serve there, you have my highest respect and I thank all of you for showing the support for those of us that are returning from Iraq. I have been to the wall and was touched deeply. We are all brothers in arms.

Thank you all, sorry they pulled you out before the job was done.

I am only 35, but my father was in the airforce during VN.

 

[Chops]

Yes Thank You, each of you.

I was also too young but remember the images on TV.



A member of a Harley site I frequent is there now, touring the country.

He is posting up some very interesting pictures, and I've included the link if you care (or maybe not) to look. You can look at other folders he has posted, his name is Blackoak.



I would be interested in your opinions if you do look at his photo posts.

My two oldest brothers served, both are 100% disabled from this. My oldest served from Oct '64 - Feb '65 when a guy in his group stepped on a land mine that killed everyone in the group except for my brother and another guy. He lost his right leg and had flashbacks for many years. My other brother served '69 - '70, I can't remember what months, he also had back injuries from landing in remote areas (paratrooper) going for weeks without treatment because they were left out in the jungle for extended periods of time.
