I was too young (thankfully) to enjoy the vacation @ Uncle Sam's expense. But several cousins and many colleges had the overseas tour. http://www.vietnambattlefieldtours.com/ Look up Edgar Stiteler down in San Antonio. Had to work many years with that ornery Leatherneck, and he leads the tours back to Vietnam. Welcome Home! Awards
