Cripes! Has everyone, but me, on this forum been to Rome. Well HAH! I've beat you all. I've been to the garden spot of the world......................................................................................Viet Nam. Of course, it was 35 years ago. 
Oh! Amie? Your travelling companion is 79? If I'd a known you were interested in older men, I'd a volunteered for the trip.

Rome?
Nope...never been...
Now, Paris...yep...been to Paris...Paris, Texas that is. 
See Jack, you're not alone... 
Vietnam...
Jack...I would like to personally thank you for going and serving our country.
Even if the war / police action / border dispute / disagreement was questionable at best...
Thanks to you and all who have served ( or now serve ) our great country.
You all deserve to be commended. 
Warmest Regards,

You guys have no idea what it means to me to hear you say that. There is no way you could ever understand. Thank you.

Taken the morning after my first (and thankfully, only) really serious night of combat. Is that guy aiming his 105mm howitzer at my head?

Yup!.....I was there too......even before the hostilities started 
One of our(USS Kitty Hawk, CVA63)recon aircraft was the FIRST aircraft to take a hit by enemy fire in May of '64  I thought I'd take a few photos of that particular F8 on the flight deck; but was told I'd probably lose my camera and a few more personal liberties if I did.

Many thanks to all of you veterans.
I was playing in a poker tournament the other night, eventually taking third. The guy that won (and busted me out w/ a lucky river draw) is a medic in the reserves; just back from Iraq. Glad the guy won.
And Amie, if you're interested in ruins, I hear Detroit is nice.
