I also talked to a Vietnam veteran who is deciding if he will allow me to interview him. He has an amazing story. (He had a bayonet go through both legs in an one on one fight.

Keep coming back to find what new interviews I may be having.

I am hearing too much about aircraft crashing and killing the soldiers inside. There needs to be a much stricter maintenance done on the aircraft. Most reports say there was a faulty part for the cause. They need to do a complete check up everyday before take off. Too much work? You are saving lives when you do.

I have a friend who served in Vietnam. He was wounded and refuses to get the Purple Heart. I have talked to him many times, and he still refuses to get it. He says there were too many generals that just had a hang nail so they could get theirs.

In my opinion, that has nothing to do with my friend. He was really wounded and deserves it.

Still working on it.

I have been missing for over two weeks. My apologizes for that. I came down with COVID July 3rd. It was a bad time at first, but then I slowly recovered. Then we went to Hawaii for ten days. It was very hard for me, because I had to use a walker, and some of the walks were pretty tough. I did enjoy my time, and came home refreshed this last weekend.
