I think that is the first picture I've ever seen of a jeep in Vietnam that actually had a pioneer tool in place. :D

Top was the guy that had your ass covered from the air when you were far from help so you did not want to steal from him! ALWAYS keep the flyboys and arty guys happy. When you say "Danger Close" it is those guys keeping you alive.

You guys on the ground were our brothers and there wasn't anything we would not do for you.
Hard to believe we had values like that when we were 19 and 20 years old.
I am sure its the same way today.

Rick, remind me some day to share some new pics I found of my BOQ room. more were slides and in bad shape but these are 2 i digitalized. The only one I had of the terrace wasn't any good.

You fly boys were spoiled. It took us another 40 years to get a flat screen TV.

Yea but the decor is close, albeit way to clean for a hootch. Come to think of it I don't think I ever saw anything that I would really call "Clean".
