I served from 1959 thru 1968 in the Navy. I was in a support role and was never in danger.
I got out in late 1968 and went to college in early 1969. Most of my fellow students were in college to AVOID Viet Nam. It was obvious.
There was a particular incident in college where we were all sitting around waiting for class to begin. Some student was regaling about his Brother..or Cousin.. or something who was there and knew everything.....
A Viet Nam Veteran sitting next to me..he was very low key..nobody knew...except we veterans in the class. He Knocked on his knee with his knuckle....Knock Knock..He had a prosthetic leg. He replied to the student.....Tell me about it... son.
Just remembering..as I saw it. NB
