Vietnam era vet myself.
I was a Corporal (E4) US Marines. I was in a MATCU unit at the air wing in Beaufort, S.C.
I lost a few people I knew back in high school due to the war. My father was a Marine with 2 Purple Hearts from WWII.
Again thanks for the post.

USAF, 1967-1971, Sgt., closest deployment was Ubon, Thailand, 1969-1970, as AC-130A Gunship Ground Support for Inertial Navigation and Forward Looking Radar.
I, too, have nothing but Respect and Gratitude to all who served in Vietnam. I lost a high school buddy who was involved in helicopter decoy and rescue missions.
Freedom, and freedom to protest are rights that many have fought and died for... Our goal should be equal rights and justice for all people.

Marine Corps Vet, '61-'66. I never went to 'Nam, how I skated I don't know, but I did. To those who were there, my utmost respect and admiration. I am humbled by what you did, by what you endured. Semper Fi.

Navy vet during Korea. Served on a tin can "Destroyer 889 Uss O'Hare. Spent most of the time out of Gitmo Cuba plane guarding carriers. Only action we seen is when we blew a small gunrunning boat out of the water between South America and Cuba. That never made the news.

Mahalo for taking the time to photo and post. Was in the USAF 1964 - 1985. Never served in any war zone and I have great admiration for those who have. To those who have served especially those who did go; mahalo for your service. To those who did not return may you rest in peace and your families.

Thank you, I flew Spooky there in 68-69. Too bad the politicians wouldn't let us do our job.
