Being in Nam was at best scary. But at the age of 19, you weren't too smart to be scared. Even sitting on a dozer or earthmover, you were a good target.
By the time I left things were heating up even more that we noticed. 30 days later when I was home the 68 Tet blew up. I was back home headed to Fort Leonard Wood.

I loved CCR, man its hard to believe they never had a #1 hit. Every time I hear CCR I think of Nam, as well as The Stones with "We gotta get out of this place".
When I got on the Pan Am freedom bird when we lifted off they played that on the intercom, lots and lots of cheers.

I was born in 1970. My father had a high draft number and never got picked to go to Vietnam. A lot of my friends' dads were sent to Vietnam and some of my friends' dads never came back. There was a lot of guys in my highschool class who were put up for adoption when their dads were killed in Vietnam. Most were adopted through St. James White Oak, a Cincinnati Parish.

Just the first two notes of Fortunate Son and For What It's Worth, and I know what it is. My two only all-time favourites. My father, WW2 decorated fighter pilot and myself waved the banner in welcome home , for the soldiers coming back. We never stopped that welcome.
