Default 31 Jul 1969

It has been 34 years today since I earned my Purple Heart in Vietnam. Here is to the 4 others that earned them but didn't live to wear them.


To the 4 Hero's of the 38th Reg. 9th Korean Infantry Div. Rest in Peace my Korean Brothers.


AIRBORNE!

I just learned last year that Korean troops fought in Vietnam. Where they widely dispersed over the country? And weren't they really fierce fighters? I lived in Korea in 1978 and the ROK soldiers were really sharp and I understand very good soldiers.

You run into two kinds of Vietnam combat veterans;
Some can't talk about it, some can't stop.
But there's one thing we all have in common;
Sometimes we get thinkin' 'bout the guys 'n gals
That didn't make it back,
And we come down with a real bad case,
Of the Vietnam blues.
From Sarge Lintecum Vietnam Blues Collection

Paco-- don't let them blues get you down--May they rest in peace, an forever young--Dennis
