When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen. -- George Washington |
 20 Oct 68 Dear everybody, Well it's another rainy day in Vietnam. When they say its been known to rain 40 days and nights you can believe it. Today I had to fill sandbags and build a bunker where a mortar round came in last night. No big worry. It was at least 300 yards away. That's for really! Tomorrow I draw my rifle and packs and the rest of my gear.
You wouldn't believe this but I've slept better in Vietnam than I have in a long time. The food ain't been too bad but the only thing is that supplies are hard to come by so there is only two meals a day. Everybody says An Hoa is gonna be another Khe Sanh. I hope not. A lot of guys are getting souvenirs of the NVA like crazy, so if I do I'll send it home to Tommy. I've seen NVA watches, belts, hats, and canteens that are engraved. Well got to go for now. Take care & God bless ya all. Love, Paul |
