Re: April 30, 1975 in Vietnam

Yes I do, I had been home from Vietnam 5 years by then and one of my first thoughts were Bill and Sandy and so many others lost their lives for nothing! Both were friends of mine, one from high school and the other I served with in Germany prior to my stint in Vietnam. I really want to say more as to what my feelings are about the fall of Saigon and our previous exit in March of '73 but to do so would involve a lot of political reference and personal thoughts. That would most likely get me my very first time out on the board after 23 years and then being sent to my corner so I will refrain from doing so. Just suffice to say I have some hard feelings to this day and I don't apologize at all about them.

The Vietnam war experience ripped this country apart and it can still be felt today by those directly involved.
