ZombyDad: Vietnam, 1968

[Zomby Woof]

He served for a year, in-country - not on a swift boat, but a somewhat larger gun boat. Here's to ZombyDad, Democrat and veteran...

Innocent looking lad, that Boats! Of course, they're the ones that get away with everything!

14. PBR

He was up and down the river all year. Got there in time for Tet.

24. I had a first cousin USMC in country for two tours up to then (Tet).

And I met some former River Rats through him.

4. He looks like he'd rather be at a Janis Joplin concert

[Zomby Woof]

16. He likes her and that era of rock and roll

The Stones are his favorite, in fact. You are close to the mark there. :-)

19. Great pic! So glad he made it home. :^)

[Zomby Woof]

21. Me too!

I was 21 months old when he returned. I was lucky not only that he came back, but that I lived free of worry. My older sister and especially mom, they had that burden.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Yeah. That's an awful thing. The closest I caem to it was my dad

getting sent to serve in Bahrain in '89, but there was no war and the risk of terrorism was lower then.

20. A ZombySalute for ZombyWoof's ZombyDad!

Saaaaaaaaaaaaal-LUTE! Thank you, sir, for your service!

Looks like a great guy, Zomby.

I :loveya: being a Dem. We've got such great people on our side!
