If any of you want to know what it was really like being in the Vietnam war, then look up PFC Jerry McNelly as he does such a great job explaining his time in Vietnam, much better that I could. I salute this man, and all the others who served there. I remember approaching the door to disembark the plane and hit the opening. It was like a wall of heat that I ran into. Not only that but once I stepped on to the tarmac we had mortars coming down on us. I ran as fast as I could to get inside of the building. WOW what a welcome to Vietnam.

I sure remember the heat the moment that door opened on the aircraft when I arrived in Vietnam but a least the place wasn't under attack that particular day.
