Hello all
January 1970. I was a sophomore in Highschool looking to score even a kiss from some little sophomore high school girl. ET and Woody were fighting for their lives in some little [bleep]. I am so glad we had those heroes in our lives. And, are still with us tonight. Thanks for what you guys have done for us. Bottoms up.

I really think this is the best thread to ever be put on the campfire.. and glad to see it resurface once again..
I've met both Woody and Jim... and even been a guest in their home...
have met a bunch of campfire members in my time here ..... but none finer than either Woody or Jim...
And then with all of this, two of the most humble men I've ever met in my lifetime.. and that has been a bunch of people.
Happy Anniversary Guys, and thank God you both made it home in one piece.
A salute of respect, and gratitude... for our nation, and being able to be a guest in your homes... It was I who was dramatically humbled for my good fortune.
Cheers and Best Regards.

1st time I have seen this thread. I was raised watching the Viet Nam War on T.V. news with Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather. It ended when I was 14. I have read the entire thread and I am not ashamed to say that I have watery eyes. I have always been interested in the stories told by the guys that were actually in combat. But it is darn near impossible to get them to open up if you haven't Been There-Done That. I never pushed too hard. I was afraid of dredging up some bad memories. Though just asking about it opened that door. I only met one guy, he was about 6 years older than me, that didn't get wistful and melancholy. He even got out the photo album. That was cool. I loved his stories.
Thanks for sharing this one, EvilTwin. I appreciate the insight.
I'll make an appt. with a Mr. Jack Daniels at 5:30 p.m. this afternoon.
Cheers.
