Got out Jan.19, 1972 in Oakland. Spent a week in San Francisco with my sister then cme home to my parents. Day after I got home I went looking for a car and found a 1967 Red Mustang. Bought it with the money I saved while in Vietnam and I still have it. I also ,while on my second tour, got a letter from my best friend that his uncle wanted to sell 3 acres of land for $900. I had to make a MARS call to get my Mom to use my money and buy the land. I still have the land. I kept $50 a month and sent the rest home. Land and car cost $2150. Not bad for 2 tour in Vietnam.

My first big purchase after separating from the military was a house. I had to take advantage of the VA loan benefits, which are to good to pass up.

My first purchase after getting home from Vietnam was a Honda 500cc bike. It was a beauty and took me many places!
