My dad served in Nam in 1971 or 72, not sure which. Don't know much other than he was a crew chief on a huey. My dad has never said much about his time over there, and I've never really asked. There is a lot I'd like to know, just out of curiosity and because I think the history should be passed on. Future generations will only know what the media has taught them about Vietnam, and we all know how accurate and unbiased the media is. My dad has talked and shared some with my brother, but Mike served two tours in Iraq with the 3rd ID so they have some related experience. The stories I have heard from my dad and other Nam vets, I think you guys may have had it the roughest. Those who were lucky enough to make it back home had to deal with all the hatred back here, and lack of support like there is today for the service members. I have even heard that WWI and WWII vets sometimes looked down at those returning from Vietnam, since Nam wasn't a war declared by Congress.
I have a lot of respect for those who have served, especially since asthma kept me from doing the same.
