I enlisted in the Army in 1969. I volunteered for jump school, then I volunteered for Viet Nam. I was 18 years old when I arrived in Viet Nam, and I "celebrated" my 19th and 20th birthdays during my 18 months with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. When I returned to the US, I got married and my wife and I spent a year in Fort Bragg, NC with the 82nd Airborne.
It was quite an experience for a young man (boy), and I feel lucky to have made it back in one piece. Rick
