[Devil Child]

Thank you for those kind words! Where is your dad stationed?

He was in My Tho, NhaBe, and some other areas in the Mekong Delta from '67 to '68 before getting wounded in action and sent home. He was an engineman/rear .50 gunner on a PBR Mk1 with River Division 53(primarily) Task Force 117 with Operation Game Warden. Bunch of badass sailors on tiny gunboats in the rivers and canals of Vietnam.

I have a bunch of his photos that I will seek to scan and share. Basically this type of stuff(from wiki)

 

[BravoZulu]

Much respect and admiration for your dad and his brethren @Devil Child
