I just noticed your signature line. I helped set up and run the first versions of the Navy PBR's from 65 to 66 in the People's Paradice. Khe Sanh was the year after I got out, so I don't know anything about it other than what was reported at the time. But it is interesting that the sign you reference as being up there, was also hanging on the bulkhead on the LST crew berthing area when I was there. When I got out, I had one made just like the one I saw, which is a little different from yours. It hung on my office wall until I retired to remind me of those who were still there and those who would never come home. Now it hangs in my reloading room. Photo's below.






There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about those times and how true that sign really is and I say a little prayer for those who still stand in harm's way all across the globe and you probably do too.
