In Country after 40 years

Back to you, 2 days late…but wifi can only be obtained in a few places and those places have not yet coincided with my writing fits.

First, though, our cast of characters, all old soldiers with Vietnam service. Mike Davidson of KY, an old Ranger like me, Don Davis, my boss for 20 years in the GA National Guard, Larry Reese from TN who also worked for Don and his uncle Dane Baxter, a former Marine and mountain boy from East TN……last but not least Pat Daughtery, a Citadel 69 classmate who served with me in the 101st Airborne in 70-71. Lots and lots of war stories.

So we arrive in Hue and log into the Hue Morin hotel, a 4 star European hotel in the traditional manner. You don’t think there are any luxury hotels in Vietnam? What we’re staying in here beats anything I’ve ever seen in GA and most NYC hotels. The next day we’re to head out to the AShau Valley and KheSanh, both places that were the focus of the heaviest combat of the Vietnam War. Chao for now.
