Grizz, if you're ever in the reading mood, read Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo. Not about Vietnam but could be. There was a movie by the same name. It's alright, too.

Cool I'll check it out. Hell I gotta get back to reading the Vince Lambardi book "when pride still mattered". I seen another book a few years back called "soul patrol". It was about african American soldiers that served in Veitnam

because we don't have that many members old enough to have been in vietnam..then if they are old enough there's still a chance they didn't serve in vietnam..

hence why I thought the number would be less than 10,

there's maybe 3, that I can think of

50 years a vol

Someone 58 or so could have been in Vietnam. Not in the heat but towards the winding down and pull out.
