I'm still here y'all. I've been smelling a difference in the air for awhile, my antenna have been up. I'm afraid for our country, those dem's are all stirred up. Been watching that haley bittch,...

Yes brother, our youth in this country have definitely changed. I've been hearing on the news lately that most of the services are way behind in their recruiting goals - but our Corps is doing OK. ...

Bill, I'm still here. I came down with a heart problem this year, finally got it fixed (A-fib) with an ablation. I can think again and no longer living in la la land.

It's that time again...

Yup, Meade River was the one operation where I felt I was looking certain death in the eye. Fist says it best with his we were "Riding the Dragon," very poetic. Guess at Meade River I must have...

To my Meade River Brothers, another year has passed and it's time for Roll Call again, to see how many of us are still here. Much in my life has changed, seems I've gone more internal. I rarely run...

Doug (Captain Kirk) was with us at Hue, he went in on the south of the Perfume with the 2/5, we went in on the north with the 1/5. They went into Hue around the 1st or so of Feb 68, we went in right...

I hear you 2 brother Fist, I liked the good looking one's as well, except for that one fat one I woke up with that morning. I had to get out of there because she wanted more of me. To this day I...

Jack, whenever I was asked how many people I killed I'd tell them just enough to come back home. Even my oldest grandson asked me that question. I went to the weekly VA counseling groups for about...

Every night I ever spent at An Hoa I saw constant lume in the sky. The old saying was that whenever Da Nang was getting rocketed An Hoa was either getting their wire probed or they were getting a...

I hear ya Jack, we used to call them ghosts in the lume, makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up straight. Puff was a bad son of a bittch. Just saying.

No Bill, not at all. I've started many posts this time of the year in the past with "Guess what time it is; that's right Marines, it's Mead River Time." It's funny in a way as Meade River was one...

For those that don't know, Meade River was a search and destroy operation out in the Arizona Territory, mostly in the Dodge City and No Go Island areas. It was the largest insertion of Marines by...

Back in 68 we Meade River Marines had been in that operation for over a week, then this past Monday or Tuesday we (the 3/5) "discovered" the Hook. About now, back then, the 3/26 was fighting their...

I started out at Hue City, I was there with the 1/5, we took the north side of the river. I recently read some after action reports and our Capt Harrington said that we went into Hue with 120...

Ain't that the truth. Just saying.

When I got home I became a cop in the projects of Memphis, and I loved it - I had found my sweet spot. Being a cop you could get a drink every night, and with...

Great post Bill. Your post has made me reevaluate some of my time in the Nam. From my experience commenting like you've done about those 2 grunts running back into the bush was totally normal "for...
