So true. I think our involvement in SE Asia was misguided. But, that wasnt the fault of anyone who served over there. I would have been there, too, if I'd been a couple of years older.

Although I'm sure Vietnam had been in the news, I guess I just wasn't paying much attention to it...until we got the news that a member of our high school senior class named Gilbert Wiley had been killed in Vietnam. He had left school to join the U.S. Marine Corps. and was only 18 years old when he died. He was a fun-loving guy and always had us all laughing in the cafeteria during lunchtime. @itchyd, with your sense of humor, you would have liked him. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice, Gil. ✝️
