My Dad in Chu Lai South Vietnam 1967 (seated wearing glasses)


It was sent to me a couple months ago by the youngster (now in his 60's) to the right. Pop passed away in 1998 of Agent Orange related cancer. Seeing this picture it's like he reached across time to say hello.

An E-9. I am thinking that Vietnam was not the first war for your father.Interesting that you received the photo after so long.I always like personal photos that troops took over ones taken by photojournalists or even military combat photographers.

LRRP team the second from right kneeling is my dad.This was in 1968 I think but it may have been 69 he did two tours.I do not know who any of the other men are my father still keeps in contact with the ones who are still alive though.Rangers lead the especially to beer as you can see.
