WOW neat pictures. Thanks for sharing.  And just as I thought, everyone is a short fat old balding man with hearing aides.  Take your hats off Fletch and Warren :-)  And Fletch has to be the oldest hippy, flashing the peace sign and carrying a man purse.

IN the second picture portraying the active soldiers, that Sgt. Major in the middle has been to a couple of rodeos!   he needs another chest for all his ribbons and it looks like two stars on his CIB.  Have all the soldiers serving since Vietnam, like in Desert Storm and up to now also been earning CIB's?  Or does one only earn them in a sanctioned war as determined by congress and the Pres?  I notice the other Sgt. and officers do not have CIBs?

Most of you were lucky and went home and got out.  I still had a year left so went to the Third Herd at Ft Meyer, so we had to wear the old fancy wool blue suits with gold pippings all over.  But still had to wear the old saucer and cunt hats.  Not the neat berets and cavalry hats of today.  I wonder given our mission and outfit as a light infantry, but air mobile, would we wear the beret or the cool cavalry hat.  Had a short stint in a smokey bear hat, but the new cavalry hats are really cool!

Nor did I know we had so many celebrities, I see Maude's husband second from the left in the third picture.  And Rick Flair scooting behind Warren.

I have been waiting for news from those that took the trip back to Nam.  How did that go and when do we see pics?  Someone told me that Nui Ba Din is a tourist trap with gondola rides to the top and souviner boothes all around the bottom.  The same with the tunnels we found in the triangle and Boloi Woods.
