I'll try not to get so heavy in the future. As for some of our memories being a little sharper. I can't speak for everyone but in my case, due to pain, I am reminded of Nam every day. That plus my collection of about 500 photos and the ones that you guys have sent have helped me remember a whole lot more. But the real reason is probably that I'm a lot younger than you guys.
Youth does have it's advantages.
My crew was on an assault from 4AM to 4PM to try and rescue 4 US from a VC prison camp up near Tay Ninh. My entry says the same thing was tried a Cau Mau a few days earlier. No mention of Bob Hope. It may have been another of shows that I saw from the air. He was certainly happy and rather unbelieving that it was happening to him.
