Free men do not ask
permission to bear arms
| A major fucking waste.
A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone.
The American Revolution was carried out by a group of gun toting religious zealots.

I wondered too, and ran their SN on the Wall database and didn't come up with anything. Here's to hoping they made it home.
I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. |

| Those are great photos.
I traveled to Saigon a while back on a whim, and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. |

| Going back to Viet-Nam and Laos is not on my things to do list. I regret that I was there and regret more so the people we lost and the lives that were changed forever. If you were part of the boots on the ground your perspective is different. |

| Thanks for posting the link. I was there with the 101st Airborne, C Company 4/77th ARA (Aerial Rocket Artillery) I Corps. Flew a lot of missions in the Cobra along the border with Laos and the HCMT. Don't feel the need to go back as a tourist.
