It was hard to accept that we was not wanted at all period but most of us manned up made a life raised kids. Still have the nightmares and sweats the face of the first man I seen go down thru the scope still visits me the shocked look he got knowing he is not going home. I handle those tough times telling myself it was a job I signed up for and was paid to do works sometimes.
But was glad I made it home


Things which we who haven’t been can scarcely imagine. My cousin was likewise in the Marines over there, and likewise used a scope in combat. He’s retired and closing in on being a great- grandfather now, but he told me he can still see the faces from back then.


when you see your cousin again tell him Sempe Fi

You may have left Viet Nam, but it never leaves you, especially the smell.

Hats off to all who served, are serving or will serve in the future.
Condolences to all who were lost and their families.
