I just got in on the tail end of V N in the early 70s (USN - US Morton DD-948). By far one of the best things that ever happened to me. When I first joined the Navy after high school, my father (an old WW2 Navy Vet) told me, ?You will loathe the decision and wish you were not in the Navy. But, years later you will be dam glad you did it.? He pretty much hit the nail on the head. Have used my experience with Nam, the Navy, and the times, to provide me fuel when needed though out my life and medical career. Charlie

I want to say thanks to all Veteran's and a belated Happy Birthday to all Marines.
Please send a Donation to VWAM for all those who can't celebrate both the 58,000 Americans and over 200,000 ARVAN"S. VWAM works miracles in Nam. I saw it first hand in 2001.

Semper Fi,

I want to Thank you for your service. The world owes you all so much.

President Bush gave a speech to the National Endowment for Democracy on November 6 and it is probably one of his best speeches.

In early 1970 there were about 40 democracies. Some countries like Uganda lost it briefly when Idi Amin staged a coup, but it has been reestablished.

As the 20th century ended there are around 120 democracies. Bush states in his speech "It is no accident that the rise of so many democracies took place in a time when the world's most influential nation was itself a democracy. The United States made military and moral commitments in Europe and Asia which protected free nations form aggression and created the conditions in which new democracies could flourish."

The soldiers of Vietnam, join the Korean War Vets, World War I Vets, World War II Vets, the War of 1812 Vets, the Desert Storm/Gulf War Vets, the Iraqi independence War Vets, the Kosovo War Vets, the Civil War Vets and finally the Revolutionary War Vets all to further freedom. They are all in the same fraternity of men who have provided freedom to the U. S. and the World. Vietnam was just one battle of the freedoms struggle.

"It is the United States that provided security for whole nations"

"Some skeptics of democracy assert that the traditions of Islam are inhospitable to representative government. It should be clear to all that Islam, the faith of one fifth of humanity is consistent with democratic rule. Democratic progress is found in many predominantly Muslim countries: in Turkey, Indonesia, Senegal, Albania, Niger, Sierra Leone. Muslim men and women are good citizens of India and South Africa." Iraq will become free.

God Bless

22 Sept 2003
I flew "Blindbat" missions in Laos and N. Vietnam in l965-66, was a Covey FAC at Khe Sanh, Dong Ha, and Kontum in l967, and flew Spectre Gunships in l971-72.
I would like to hear from the young marine that was suppose to fly with me over the hills of Khe Sanh during the original NVA attack in early '67. He missed the flight, but when I returned, I showed him the nasty results of AK-47 rounds through the back seat of my O-1E "Birddog".
Would also like to hear from the Spec Forces type that said he'd buy me dinner if I were ever in Ohio (don't remember the city), after we decimated NVA soldiers that were coming up after him. He was on top of a mountain a little west of Dak To II, in Laos. We'd flown the late night mission in the AC-130A, it was daylight, so we put both the 20mm gatlin guns and the 40mm guns on the line.
