Well said Larry couldn't agree more. Bob should write his own book.

To Bob Spencer - another great article written by you. While most of us came through Fort Lewis and Seattle Airport, many Vietnam veterans ended up flying through San Francisco Airport on the way home. San Francisco Airport seems to have been particularly bad. A friend of mine from the 14th Engineer Battalion (to which the EM Platoon of C Company provided support for 5 months on the DMZ) spent 18 months in Vietnam and was wounded twice, At San Francisco Airport some guy spit on his ribbons and he punched the guy out. Subsequently, he spent his first night in the US in jail for assault (the charges were dismissed). Somehow those who were afraid to go ended up victimizing those who had the courage to go. Ironically, about 10 years after Vietnam there was a new crowd of "Vietnam Wannabee Fakes." That was then. All we can do now is ensure the veterans who are fighting now are treated well including getting the kind of medical care that many Vietnam veterans should have received.

Hey hey hey! I sure hope so as not much can keepe from that grandson! See you all in acouple of months!

Nick Kallas, is Oklahoma ready for you?

To My Uncle Sgt. JOHN W. PRICE KIA. June 15 1944. Spending Another MEMORIAL DAY in France. Thank you Sgt. Price

Just found out that Thomas O'Dea died suddenly on May 10th. He was one of the finest officers I had the pleasure of serving with.

To all my 589th brothers, have a safe and memorable Memorial Day; remember: "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends."

To all of my fellows Veterans. Have a save and great Holiday. And remember if it was not for guys like us , there would be no Freedom.

On this Memorial Day weekend, may we each take a moment to remember those we lost in Vietnam, those who returned physically and emotionally wounded, those we lost since returning, and all those who gave themselves to serve. There isn’t a day goes by I am not reminded of them, the contribution they made for freedom, the legacy they left and the sacrifice they made on our behalf. Our casualties may not be with us today, but they are not gone from our thoughts, nor gone from our memories. God bless every one of them - and God bless America.

We have been very busy buying a house and trying t sell one. Moving a littel bit at time to OK. But i still have to thank all my fellow veteransa nd say welcome home again! I hope you all enjoy this weekend and also take to time to honor all veterans. God Bless you all!

Do any of the new members remember me??? Go to my first guestbook message dated Feb 15th 2010. If so I would like to hear from you. I was in the 589th way prior to most of the members that are on the guestbook pages, and went over with the very first members.

I posted another short story to the Blog section for those of you with an interest in reading it. I wrote the story several months ago, but was just struck with the courage to post it this morning. I hope there are portions of the story you can relate to, but other portions not. Enjoy your day
