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.

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.
