In the last 15+ years I have either organized or helped organize six military reunions with four of those in Asia (Vietnam War Veterans). Are reunions important to you and why?

The photo is from a reunion in Thailand, 2007 on the former B-52 base at U-Tapao.

I would love to go back and visit Vietnam if I had the chance, especially China Beach . It is on my "Bucket List."

Sometimes I also would love to see China Beach and other places. On Operation Durham Peak, we swam in this small lake/pond, and killed the fish. At the time, it was a nice break which you do not get too often. From looking at current pictures, we would not recognize China Beach or other areas of Vietnam.

Sgt David G Duchesneau, I would like to see Monkey Mountain again - just across the water from China Beach.

I convinced a Vietnam war group to go on a cruise. I said American is ready for you. They had a blast.
