I am just glad that we can....and do.

One of the guys organizes Vietnam Trips.....have done two with him and planning a third.

Last trip we visited the places were we lost guys.

One place was where we worked with the Aussies.

Amazing the emotions you can keep bottled up for 30 plus years.

That makes these friendships all the more valuable.

One of the guys I meet with is a Land Developer....and in one Sub Division he built....all the streets are named for guys we lost.

One of the guys is a German Immigrant, who has a very strong German Accent to his English....who we immediately dubbed "Frenchy" all those years ago....and he still goes by that name today.

There is a bond that gets formed when you share great risks together for a year or more...that lasts forever.
