How did all we RVN vets get so old.... so quickly?

Yeah...does kind of sneak up on you. I guess certain memories and not just combat, remain always fresh and you don’t notice the growing cleavage in time between them and now.

Seems like yesterday, if I saw a grizzled old vet in Lowe’s, the assumption was WWII. Now he wears a Vietnam cap, sees mine & says, “Welcome home, brother!”

And I will always hate Hanoi Jane Fonda’s guts. Keeps me warm.

Welcome home and thank you for your service!
