You may have noticed that I have also added my pics to Curt Wagoners gallery link noted in your signature.
The album titled 'Very graphic images open at own risk' were taken by Janech when we were on patrol the morning after we were overrun on 6/20/66.
He gave me copies which remained in a sealed envelope for over 40 years.
I see my experience as a 'documentary' and war is brutal and ugly....and everyone loses.

Welcome aboard Wayne.
I was looking at your web page.. are you in Santa Clara, CA??

[chulaivet1966]

ChuckH....

Yep....I'm in Santa Clara, Ca.
You still rubbing elbows with the rich and famous at the country club in San Francisco?
I've got my own weights set up in my garage but I'll bet it's more fun working out at the country club...ha.

I am actually in CT now.. the country club I WORK at and the key word here is work.. LOL is in Greenwich, CT.
I grew up in Mountain View. Lived in Sunnyvale, and Santa Clara. I enlisted in Mountain View early 68

Wow....you're on the right coast now.
Well...I plan on retiring 12/31 this year.
I thought I was apprehensive about boot camp....retiring may trump that experience.
I was at Marine Barracks, Moffett Field for my last 1 1/2 years so I've lived in countless places in Mt View, Palo Alto and Sunnyvale.
Thanks for checking in.

OK!!.....now, we need to hear about those "g-tars"! Former "Rock Star"????.......HE! HE! HE! HE!.......

[chulaivet1966]

Yea...well...I am a 'former' Marine but never made the 'Rock Star' status.
Although, I did give it a good shot during my live band days in the 70's - early 80's.
Those guitars are my mistresses and have been through much with me over the years.
Yes...my wife knows of these 'mistresses' I speak of.

On the left is a 1977 Ibanez Telecaster purchased just before Fender sued their asses for copyright infringement.
On the right is a 1973 Guild D40 acoustic.
My third axe is a Martin copy acoustic.

AAAHHHHHHHHH......the good old days!!......
