Bio
I'm 72... I am proud I served grateful I survived and probably know more about life than anyone around me because all the death I saw.... My experiences in Viet Nam were some of the most thrilling, terrifying and grieving time phases in my life. I carry those mind warped excursions daily. I served with the best and the worst of men....we were 18,19,20 with an open license to search and destroy.
