April 11, 1966 in Viet Nam These guys went through HELL together and a very few of them came back to tell about it!! The stories they revealed that weekend were enough to give a person a whole new outlook on the Viet Nam conflict. That story needs to be told by somebody more knowledgeable than I. Here are some links, if you wish to read about them! In the tribute , click on the link to the Danger forward Magazine. It's with the links on the left, near the bottom. Read their account of the battle!! Suffice it to say, we had a wonderful time visiting with then and it was a great honor to be in their company! It just confirms the fact that we need to find more ways to thank these guys and the many others like them! |
