Nam was a long time ago. I rode a destroyer off the coast for a couple of years. Those were some dark days for our country and our troops didn't get the honor they deserved for the most part.
Thanks to all that have served home and abroad, in good times and bad.

Thank you, Vets, for your service. And a special thanks to Vietnam Vets -- you were not welcomed home properly, and for that the country is ashamed.

Hot Rod Roy,
I just thought about something else. My younger brother was an Aviation Hydraulics Mechanic on the Big E during that time as well. I had forgotten about that. I know there were a lot of guys on that boat, his name was Gene Matthews.
