A friend now dead from the effects of AO blew a NVA
safe and it contained a very nice all matching Nazi P-38 pistol.

Good for you Marty.
Some people have still to get over it and put in perspective.
I was at a diner 3-4 months ago and the fellow next to me had a VN Vet cap on.
He said his daughter still calls him a baby killer. How sad for both of them.

Very sad. Perhaps that lady ought to have considered that many of the soldiers who served in Vietnam were scarcely out of high school themselves. Their lives also blighted, in many cases by what they experienced there. Remember them, and let them speak with you if you get the opportunity.
