Doc,
I am just flabbergasted by this post.
How fortunate you are to have heard from Bob, a hero in your mind but now you know, positively, that you are the hero in his mind.
Yes we were the background of the Americans at that time. The ones that could be hidden in the background, ignored, and neglected. In many respects, we still are. But here at the Patriot Files we know what we did, what we were willing to do for the other troops around us. Who here was not willing to spill blood to protect those around us? I know of no troops that would not stand up and cover my ass. You and every other Vietnam veteran are brothers, sisters, and heroes in my mind.
