We may be old now but you didn't mess with us then.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen I saw a soldier wearing one last week. If I have the time, I try to talk to these men to find out when they were in country and what unit. I have only wore my Vietnam cap out in public, once or twice. I prefer to wear one of my Marine Corps caps. I may occasionally walk like an older gentleman, but I do not consider myself an old man. I am sure that many younger folks consider me as old.

I too only wear my USMC hat. Was in New York recently and saw Vietnam Veterans had worn by a USMC S/Major. Spine to him and found out we were both in Vietnam at the same time. Me at MCAS Bien Hoa and Him at the army base at Quang Tri.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen They went to fight a war they didn't necessarily believe in, they fought because the guy next to them deserved their support and because the flag meant something. I have nothing but respect for them!

As do I. Most of my high school friends participated, many not by choice, but they did their duty.

A handful of my high school friends never returned from Viet Nam - one had been in-country only two days. I still have an etching of his name from the Wall in DC. Tough time for those of us who served in that era.
