GM to you also, micro.

I have nothing but deep respect for you and micro for having served OUR country in Nam, and for all those that served. You two had one of the most dangerous 'jobs' over there, serving on the ground.

The closest I ever came was when the family traveled back to the US on emergency leave. We flew on a C-141 Medivac out of Tachikawa, Japan. There were seriously injured soldiers on stretchers in the back of the plane. I stopped by one of the soldiers. Don't know exactly what my intention was, whether to talk to him, or whether it was something else. My dad quickly corrected me, and told me to leave him alone - out of respect for the man. That is something I will never forget. It was a long, and quiet, flight to Anchorage, where we continued on.

GM professor!

I am glad you did not get that "privilege" as we may not have you to talk with and learn from.

My oldest daughter reached Professor status this year in Biological sciences for the University of Cincinnati.
She now serves as an adjunct. Of course my other one as you likely know is an accomplished and highly ranked attorney in Virginia.

BOTH daughters are far more intelligent than their father. For which I am grateful and elated. It's what I prayed for a long time before they were born and the request was granted and answered.

Well, as an "observer" you had a closer view than the folks here in the states. Trust me, you would not have liked it there. If the ambushes set up by Charlie did not get you the snakes had just as good of odds. And the booby traps which seemed innumerable. Unless one had faith and a relationship with God I do not know how they kept their sanity.

Some things I was involved in are as vivid in my memory today as they were in real time then. I don;t have nightmares or anything like that but I do have vivid memories of the firefights against NVA and some Cong.

Distant past stuff that one will likely never forget..

Which is why we live in the Present and give thanks for the new Day which God has made and sustained BY HIS power. For which we give thanks...Thumbs Up
