I was lucky enough to be born a couple of years late to have gone there. Living in the same area all my life I know the people who went to VN and the ones that served in the reserves here at home. My brother in law served 2 tours in the army there but was not fighting in the jungle he was working on a base. He told me the base did get attacked one night and it scared the hell out of him but that was about it for his war stories. I still have 1k percent respect for his service over there and thank him for his service often.
