Recalling the memories
Today I was working in the yard a little bit, I had the radio in my Blazer on and was listening to the oldies. Somewhere I got lost in time, I started to remember the guys in my squad while I was with the 4th ID, the songs made me remember where in the Central Highlands I was when certain songs came on, the Animals came on with "We gotta get out of this place" and I thought about Dak To. I was wondering about the guys I served with, and ho close we got and the love we shared for each other, and the way we knew we could depend on each other. Man I haven't found that since. I don't think I ever will again. I have found some of the closeness on this site, and am glad to know I can say this and not be judged. Since I've retired from the service I only trust vets, and my friends who are civilians are vets. I don't think anyone understands us accept each other. Thanks for letting an old soldier feel that remembering is okay.
