[QUOTE="Ron Eagle Elk, post: 676283, member: 48431"] Enlisted out of High School in 1964. Landed in Vung Tao on an LST 5 May 1965 with the 173d Airborne Brigade (Sep), rotated back to the Land of the big PX in December 1967 after a little squabble over Hill 875 in Dak To. ETS'd after returning to the States and lasted almost a year as a Combat Vet living in San Diego in the 60's. Sold or gave away everything I owned and enlisted again. Spent a year in the Panama Canal Zone with A Company (Airborne) 3/5th Infantry at Fort Kobbe waiting for my transfer back to Nam to come through. Back to the 173d for a time, then Company C (Airborne) 75th Infantry (Ranger) until we stood down, then to 17th Combat Aviation Group. Back in the States I spent a lot of time at Ft Bragg with the 82d Airborne (C Company, 2/508), did 3 years as a Drill Sergeant, did a three year tour in Germany with the 2d Armored Division (FWD) 3/41st Infantry. Back to the States and Ft Lewis, WA where I retired in 1988. Haven't been gainfully employed since. Yeah, I'm still riding the Dragon's tail. Saw a cartoon in the VA some time back, young psychiatrist asks a Nam Vet "When were you in Viet Nam?" Vet answers back "Last night." Truer words were nnever spoke. Welcome home, Brothers and Sisters. [/QUOTE]
