I was a grunt in 1969. Drafted out of graduate school where I was working on my Phd in mechanical engineering. Six months later I was with 1/7 Cav in Vietnam and saw enough death and destruction to last a lifetime. Lost 3 guys out of our company.
Only did a 5 month tour because I got a direct comission in the Corp of Engineers and was sent back to the States for officers school. Then managed to get assigned to Germany and landed at the post engineers in Stuttgart Zuffenhausen. Right down the road from the Porsche factory. |

QUOTE(KELTY360 @ Mar 30 2023, 10:48 AM)  My one souvenir from Nam is my Stetson cavalry hat from one of two units authorized in-country to wear. That is one cool hat! Thank you for your service. |

As an Air Cav unit we were also authorized to wear cowboy boots…. I didn’t go that far. It was a cowboy kind of war.
