Thanks for this very well done post. I was there and I thank God that I have no real war stories to tell. 1st Aviation Brigade, HHC 214th Combat Aviation Battalion, Vinh Long Army Airfield, Vinh Long, RVN. Oct. 70-Apr. 71. I was 20 years old so, do the math......59 as we speak. I did a short tour because when I arrived in-country I had about 6 months and a few days left in the army. Their re-up speech was wasted on me and almost everyone else also. In retrospect I am glad that I was there but I have no respect for our leaders that sent us there knowing that it was a lost cause....LBJ, McNamara, Tricky Dick top the list.
