I processed for 3 days and was sent straight out into the field on the first supply chopper.<br /><br />A week later we came in and was sent to a 3 day R and R at China Beach where I was walking with a couple guys and 3 guys I did not know stopped and laughed at me.....<br /><br />Mocking me for being pale, white and lacking the Vietnam brown. <br /><br />Whats your DEROS they asked. They were short....30days left.<br /><br />LOL I was like 350 days left.<br /><br />Wow did that photo fill my dull brain with thoughts I hadnt thought in a long time.<br /><br />Glad you made it back bro.
