I had just gotten in country end of November ‘67 and was assigned temp duty at Long Binh at Christmas. The one time I volunteered when they asked for 2 dozen guys for a detail. Handed us baseball caps, They were green or red I can’t remember but gave us access all around the stage area. So glad I volunteered, ended up standing at the base of the stage by access steps where the show performers came on. 18 years old, and Christmas day had not only Bob Hope walk by me, but Raquel Welch. She smelled like a spring day as she passed and gave me a smile that welded me to the spot. And yes, that mini-skirt was that short. Definitely memorable.
Thanks for sharing that. Makes me smile. Didn’t think we still had things to do 50 years later? God has His ways.
God bless.
