11b mos to v.n. 10-23-68 to 10-23-69 as armored cav. replacement. 1st. plt. b troop of the 1/4 cav for the 1st. Inf. Div. -atlas wedge campaign- a few choice decorations for my uniform that was only worn 2 years., I could never shake the feeling that I wanted back in since I left. Especially when we saw the north pour down into saigon in '75. Or when we streamed into bagdad over open terrein w/ palm trees where armored cav can charge.

About Me

two wives, still w/one - 5 kids,5 grandkids, w/ over a half dozen neices & nephews, all this has been a good place to dock, getting a good size tribe here, where I am king or they just make me feel that way.
A variable weighted anchor but wear it on golden chain.

Grew up in L.A.,Ca. San Frenando valley and the beaches where uncle sam decided I was having too much fun.
Also my Dad & his friends told me I was spinning my wheels w/no focus,so I just knew one of these women had to have some focus - but not before I was drafted - Big May draft of L.A. for replacements needed after TET offence 1968 -
