    Returned from wonderland 55 years ago today.

    Handed in my gear and boarded an aircraft for home 55 years ago today. Doesn't seem like over half a century ago. A few photos for the halibut.

    More of the same. What a lovely place to have as a distant memory.

    I tell everyone . . . "I came home from Vietnam on April 1st 1968 . . . been cold ever since . . ."

    Funny thing is . . . darn near the truth.

    But anyway . . . thank you for your service . . . thank you for making it home.

    May God bless,

    Thanks Dwight. I thought you might enjoy the photo of the harbor patrol at Danang with their uparmored Army Jeep. M60 and M14 on board.
