4. Did you ever own one of those black silk jackets with the map of

Vietnam & a provence name embroidered on it? I haven't seen one of those in 30 years. Vets used to wear them when they came back. Your patch reminded me of them.

5. Nope. I was out of touch with all-stuff-Vn for 30 yrs. I didn't know what was happening EVER

I was an E-3 (common sailor) during my year on my LST in VN. Didn't know SHIT. However, we WERE fired upon three different times while in the river, so what can I say.

6. I got one hanging in my closet.

I have one hanging in my closet, but I am still in Siagon. In my mind.

9. I am so glad you returned. Some of my good childhood friends

did not. I felt guilty that I was never able to serve. I was drafted in 1967 and was within a week of basic when the Department of Defense declared me 1Y. I was in school but I thought I would go any way. They eventually mad me a 4F. I can only guess it was related to a medical problem I had when I was very young. I have felt guilt because so many friends did not come back.

My family was not wealthy and I didn't have someone to pull strings for me. It's still kind of a mystery to me.
