    Angry Birthday in RVN??

    ....WELL....celebrated my 23 B-Day, April 11, 1969, in beautiful SUNNY, Quang Tri 3rd Med!! As a Squid, I never wanted to know when one of the Grunts, in "my" squad....had a B-Day. Learned that lesson the hard way.
    GOD Bless every one of those "children" of mine.
    SEMPER FI....for ever!.....Doc Greek....

    Seems that remembering our B-Days, can bring back a REAL mix of emotions.....not really a bad thing. It helps me to remember fallen buddy's, and the GOOD times we shared.....GOD BLESS every one of them!....D/G
