April 30, 1975 in Vietnam

I had the distinction of turning 21 in country. I was discharged in 1968. Walked out of Oakland air force base, through my duffle bag in the first trash can. I didn't talk about it for twenty years. In the late eighties, early nine's I started looking for other vets and in the last thirty years I have welcomed thousands of vets home. Something we never received. Gary, we were winning when I left

Thanks, Vets.
My Dad just recieved his masters from CU and the Air Force sent him over in 67. He was 37. I can still remember the night he told my Mom. She freaked out. I did 1st grade with only his voice on a small reel to reel. He finished out his 20 at the Pentagon and retired. He ended up with Parkinsons and I ended up with a herbicide settelment years after he passed. He is in DFW National Cemetary now.
