I do feel blessed to have the friends I have and I was very surprised to run into my buddy from Nam for sure. His gunship pull my team out of 2 different very hot zones that we may not have other wise made it out of. He was based in Chu Lai and that was our original base but we were all over most of the country doing recon missions and other operations.

We met up again about 15 years ago or so at a fishing tournament here in Gallatin and we both kept looking at each other and both knew that we knew each other from some place and both were trying to figure it out and it was funny because neither one of us wanted to ask the other and finally he broke the ice and asked me where he knew me from and I said I am not sure but we had met in the past. As we talked and I listened to his voice I ask him if he was in Nam and he began laughing and said yea and that is where we met. As time went on it was the first time either one of us felt comfortable talking about those times. Now we don't talk about them but what we are doing these days are more important to us.............. :up:
