Any U of Vietnam grads out there?
Going over some old pics that I took at Bloomington Gold a few years back in St Charles, IL. This was lined up for the Gold Tour.
I am a grad (but was a REMF). Long Binh, 68-69.

Di An, March, 1967-March 1968. I ran the "mini-port" there for ten months and on the first day of the 68 TET, had the only safe helicopter refueling pad open for a radius of over one hundred miles around Saigon, Tan Son Nhut air base. Lou.

Thank You all for you service and sacrifice, and welcome home.

I was born in 1964 so, no. However I'm a grad of the Gulf War and Mogadishu, both with 1st MarDiv.
I'll never forget how the Vietnam Vets led the welcome home when we arrived back in SoCal. I recall one telling me they were going to make sure we got welcomed home like they should have been. Good stuff.
We need to continue to take care of the men and women serving now and encourage the youngsters that want to serve.
Thanks to all for your service and sacrifice.

For what it's worth we weren't always there to help but I have always respected and appreciated the sacrifices made by your country. Phil
