Not Tiger Fatigues of course.
...What a great story.<br />Not Tiger Fatigues of course.<br />I've served with guys rattled by their neighbor quonset mortared.<br />A close friend was a waist gunner blown out of a gunship twice. Twice.<br />And my friend Dave Wolfe, a gunship pilot who survived more than he should have.Ed Bonderenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724552853113809036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-1167703479793579112007-01-01T18:04:00.000-08:002007-01-01T18:04:00.000-08:00Thanks to all for your kind words.

Lead is rollin' in hot!<BR/><BR/>CP- Thanks also for your acknowledgement, and thank you for your service too. My sis was a Navy Electronics Tech for almost 7 years. All who serve are at risk, and deserve our utmost respect.<BR/><BR/>Jack- Your old man flew a wicked airplane, so he was at risk just pushing the throttles forward... not even counting what happened once he was airborne!<BR/><BR/>I think one of the reasons Viet Nam Veterans voted almost as a block in the last election is that we don't want today's Veterans to suffer the homecoming we went through. I was never personally abused, (good thing, too), but we all wished for the thanks we are now receiving belatedly. <BR/>We need to keep pounding the drum...<BR/>THANK GOD for these selfless troops!<BR/>May he hold each of them in his protective palm!Greybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919862790973521778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-1167683294843035272007-01-01T12:28:00.000-08:002007-01-01T12:28:00.000-08:00Greybeard...thanks for the post.

He has some pretty hairy stories as well.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing and thanks for your service to our country. You guys didn't get the respect you deserved after Vietnam and that really sucks. You went, you did your job, you served your country...despite the unpopular war that was run in such a way that we couldn't win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-1167629593163171802006-12-31T21:33:00.000-08:002006-12-31T21:33:00.000-08:00No words can truely do it justice, but thank you f...No words can truely do it justice, but thank you for all you have done.
