It is good to see many expressing their memories of Vietnam because it is still very hard for me to do the same. I was a Ranger in Co K 75th Rangers (LRRP) attached to the 4th Div in Pleiku during Dec 68 until I was hit seriously wounded in Feb of 1970. I maintain contact with a few of my brave Ranger Lurp buddies and recently discovered I had saved approximately 100 picture negatives I took while in Nam. While we were on “stand down” I sent usable items to a compound that maintained incurable kids with diseases Americans only read about. The compound was maintained by very brave Nuns of South Vietnam. Keep up the good work and God bless our troops.
Sua Sponte,
Steve
