I was at Bien Hoa, Vietnam. I see no reason to hardly ever mention it. Before I went to Vietnam, I didn’t want to go there. When I was there, I didn’t want to be there. After I left, I still wish I hadn’t been there. There was no glory from having been there. Though I am proud of my service there, I hated it, and thought it was a year of my life that was wasted. And the pinko commie geeks still took over. 👎

Too bad your experience was so negative. Most of the guys I served with have an opposite attitude. Maybe things were different in the Infantry.

BUT, did you ever buy one of the Banh Mi sammiches from one of the street vendors in downtown Bien Hoa ? They were killers with the thai peppers that burned the ears. (:o)

A WWII vet came up to me once and thanked me for my service. (He was wearing a 1stMarDiv Guadalcanal patch on his hat.) I told him we stand on the shoulders of vets like you who served before us.

Be proud of your service, Mark17.
