...I Thank You Sir!!

I was there July 9, 1970 to July 8, 1971...Just One Tour.

I went Home on a 2 week Emergency Leave, Was Home for Christmas 1970 as My Mother was in the Hospital, She never Recovered. My Highest Thank You!! to the 'American RED Cross' for making it possible. Honour dictated I Return to finish My Tour, as I could have chosen to be Relocated and Stay in the States. I had My 19th Birthday in Nam, on Nov. 22, 1970. It was the Co. Commanders' policy that All Soldiers have their Birthdays, Off. I spent the day writing letters Home.

Again, I Thank You for the Kind Thoughts,
