Wow, Vietnam! That was a really bad time for our country - good for you for doing that!! A helicopter pilot is one of the bravest jobs to do - especially in Vietnam! My father was a Turret Gunner in the Navy WWII, (USS Natoma Bay) and my son is a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force - I really appreciate (and know first hand) the sacrifices military people give for us to be free! Leaving family and friends to go to the other side of the planet not knowing if you will ever see them again = very brave!
There was never any connection between American freedom and Vietnam.
