My dad flew F-4s out of Da Nang. I didn’t hear a single word from him about his experiences for over 25 years - until I went into the Air Force. Then he opened up - some. I find that there are some things we only feel comfortable talking about with other military members. For good or ill, we feel that civilians can’t relate.

If your dad is still alive, thank him for me and all of my brothers who felt the flash of heat from in front of us when the Phantoms came to the rescue.
