Default Welcome aboard!
Missed this somehow....gittin' old.

Gimpy was a Riverine with the 9th Division. Had a buddy who was Brown Water Navy....he died of a heart attack a few years back. Nate Hollister was his name. Just a chance you knew him.

Went out to the destroyers every chance we got [not many] to get ice cream,candy, cokes.Those guys loved to trade. Your right about the suvineers,most went to officers.I have to admit, a lot of the stuff we traded we got from markets and were of little value.We would tell them we took off of charlie and they would eat that stuff up.
