Iā€™m so glad to hear that, especially considering how our troops were being treated in the U.S. at that time. You all deserved better and good to know that the U.K. stepped up.

Thank you for your service.

Well, ‘68, a lot of folks still had WWII firmly in their memories so that probably helped. Yeah, in some places in europe (when there were still separate countries) some places had taken the left tilt and we weren’t treated that well in some ports. Copenhagen stands out as having a lot of anti Viet Nam activity aimed at us as U.S. Military. Protests bottle throwing etc. Oh well. Thanks for your service as well.
