Great site. I was just a little guy at Clark Air Base from '66-'68 but I can remember like it was yesterday standing on the flight line with dad, if he wasn't in Vietnam, watching the F-4's, loaded for bear taking off in full after-burner, headed for danger in some far-away land.....the NORTH, I'm sure. I also remember walking thru the wards at the hospital at Clark with my mom, who was a nurses aid and talking and visiting with some of the wounded troops. This has left a deep impression on me, even to this day, and I find it very hard to sometimes look at things like your web-site or watch movies like "We were soldiers" and not cry like a baby at the shameful waste of human lives...our lives, our fathers and brothers and sisters......It will never leave me, the pain and agony, standing at the base terminal at Clark, or Norton, or Travis, watching my father walk away from us, not knowing if I'd ever see him again....My father did 5 tours in-country and 2 in Thailand. Anyway, enough bitching about my past. Felt good to vent. Thanks for being there and thanks to ALL of you, men, women, black, white, brown, yellow, purple, whatever color or creed you my be.....THANk YOU....for your honor and duty to my country.....You are ALL in my prayers, daily. David.
Please wait...
