| As FO for D 4/31,I knew how important it was to get the artillery on the way ASAP, so as XO of C 3/82, I “procured” another radio and monitored the FO/FDC net. When an FO called in a mission, I had my guns ready for the command to fire. One time an FO called in a mission and I heard “all hell breaking loose on his end”. The guns were ready and loaded and I was waiting for the command to fire. After a bit, the FO is screaming for the artillery to the FDC, so I called the FDO and asked him about my command to fire. The FDO said they were waiting on “political clearance”. I said as loud as I could, “POLITICAL CLEARANCE, HELL; FIRE!!” My guns fired. The FDO said “you can’t do that.” My reply...

May 23rd, 2012 was the Air force Academy graduation ceremony. My friend from Texas had just arrived and we drove down the road to watch the Thunderbirds air show after the ceremony was finished.

| I have a note from a Paul Knowles. "I am trying to research a soldier who served with D Company, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment between 4th November 1967 until he was killed on the 18th June 1968 in Quang Tin Province, South Vietnam. His name is Nathaniel Wade from Augusta, Georgia, and I understand he may have been killed as a result of 'friendly fire' I fully appreciate that you may not wish to be reminded or indeed feel the need to respond to a stranger about your time in Vietnam.

| I find it disturbing that filing for PTSD puts you on alert for gun control. As a Veteran we are now labeled a terrorist Those who want to claim that there is no "Veterans Disarmament Act" ignore, first of all, that up to 140,000 veterans have ALREADY BEEN DISARMED by using twisted interpretations of the federal code. That figure was released on August 1 by Congress' own research team -- the Congressional Research Service. http://gunowners.org/ne0713.htm |

It will go later to the day I retired in 1986. and some time afterward. Since I am now 80 I thought I better get going with it if I am going to finish it.
