This is one of the few I have...taken at the mouth of the Cua Viet River in early 1967. This Marine base was later named Camp Kistler. As you know, I still wear that watch occasionally. It's never been serviced - ha ha. I remember switching from hot chow to C-rats and back again many times. Do you remember what that did to your digestive system? I'm still trying to forget! ;)

No tents...and the very rare hot meal flown in by chopper.

Super great story Ken I was touched, just awesome.....yourock.gif My Dad fought in World War II, and the Korean War. He was in the Army as Warrant officer II, his job was to bury all the Jewish people that were slaughter by Hitler. He brought home pictures in a photo album of the massive people that were killed and told me countless stories. From the age of 9 he showed me those pic's of what Hitler had done. They would dig with bulldozers 15 to 20 feet trenches to bury the mass amount of dead. My brother was in the Air Force from 1966 to 1989, when he came thru the air ports the protesters (Vietnam area) would spit on him, so from early age I was taught to be thankful for the Americans in the military. I do not have the honor to say I was in the military, but I have the up most respect for the men and woman that serve....

Congrats on the well-deserved honor Ken. Looks and sounds like a wonderful trip, thank you for posting, and as always, thank you for your service! I wasn't online for Veterans Day, so I didn't have an opportunity to thank you there. David
