Did anybody in your family serve in the Vietnam war.?

3 cousins. 1 is on panel 26W with 6 others. They were chasing 2 snipers that were leap frogging backwards leading them to a bridge with a 155 round under it rigged for remote det. I know a 80 something Vietnamese that was ARVN from 1955-1975, did 2 in prison, escaped, hide out til youngest kid could handle the walk from Tra Vinh to Thailand. Wants to cut off John Kerry's tiny little thang for being such a big a$$ liar too...then watch him bleed to death. one of my CO's flew Cobra's there...detailed what a 20mm does to a human. You did want to know how some feel about it? Every NCO and every Officer I served under had been there. 3 of us came close in 1974 getting orders to a aviation support unit on Tan Son Nhat...we got lucky and went to Germany...might have met Helen 25 years earlier than I did...
