Ditto on living closer together, we have so much in common and not enough time to share the brotherhood. If it was not for this site I'm not sure where my mind would be right now. This is a bad time of year for me, 37 years ago I was a CHERRY in Nam and saw way too much too soon, no such thing as bring them along slow.

November 11, 1966 was may second day in the air and we lost a Gun Ship in some heavy action. Willie Mehan was at the same AO and we both saw it explode in flight. That day the 119th lost CAPT
Walter Richard Speare, 1LT Dee Wayne Stone, and the Gunner, I am not sure who he was, the Crew Chief survived for the second time. God Bless Them All.

Hell of a way to start your second day as a CE.
