That's what I was saying, Doc. Jack and I was in the 3/26. It was designated reserve Bn. for the whole 1st. Div. We were in on every damn operation that came down the pike. At the end of Dec.68 every one with 6 months or more in Country went afloat to rest for a week. Every one with less than 6, stayed in the bush. Things didn't slow down for the 3/26 till middle of Aug.69, when we got a slacker job of protecting the Nam O bridge. I was already gone then.

****'em. I'm a Winger, and lived in splendor, and don't need no ****ing TV show to tell me what it was like.
Like a lot, I kept it all to myself for a long time. Forums like this, Marine Vets, and the yearly reunions I try to attend, make it all a bit easier.
If and when I wear a VietNam Veteran ball cap, unless she is big tittied and a good looker, I don't give a rats ass to listen to the others, UNLESS, they have BTDT. Most of them have a guilt complex and are asking for their own forgivness.
Like I say, '****'em'. A true Vet can pick out a true Vet, with no words spoken.
