Nor my stepdad. He only spoke of a gal who when he returned "my boobs just got big" or something like, and communications. That and the reason he had a slight gimp. Strong gate though, and he stood up straight until the days he died, at 89. Never complained or selfish. Smoked cigs and pipe. Drank scotch until he quit cold turkey at 83-84. Retired 1976, and only worked for his interests, including a farm in WV, where he and first wife labored their house built of rock. Then he moved out west, my mom's childhood sweetheart.

My girlfriend's dad flew air force in Vietnam as well, he's 83 and doing real well. Doesn't talk about Vietnam, but in his case, he's always on the go. Dude's a trip, and no, he can't entice me with $ or property to marry his daughter. Geeezuzzzzzzz
