Vietnam War
Plenty of walking on narrow paths through dense jungles. Looking for the enemy, booby traps and danger. Hoping I'd make it through. Seeing others I knew when they didn't survive. Seeing Sydney, Australia on R & R in June 68. Watching the calendar when I had less than 30 days remaining. Feeling when the planes wheels lifted off the runway in Saigon.
