How often do you connect with your battle buddies?

Me with My buddy Frank Donahue Jr in 1968 at Da Nang, Vietnam in front of the hut We both lived in there. He was having a problem with the VA on disability despite problem directly related to Agent Orange. We talked about that a lot. I wrote a letter His Doctor used and He got His 100% finally due to that letter according to Him. , He is on the right Me on the left in the picture here. . The Agent Orange was not only sprayed on the perimeter We both worked but We both also worked a bunker post within 100 feet or where thousands of barrel of AO were stored and to this day nothing will grow there. One of His daughters was also born with physical birth defects. Other guys We served with already have died due to Agent Orange exposure. Just over one year after that on 06 March 2023 Frank Died due to that Agent Orange exposure. Up until them We did talk and were on many of the same Veteran's Facebook pages as well as each others.

Pretty much daily but then I was in service 20+ years and then from 1993 to 2012 I worked in PMCs that directly worked with either US or US-Allied militaries and partners.
