This is a very well done site and thank you for your service in Vietnam. I
respect veterans and their sacrifice. The only thing that bothered me was your
story about the rat. I don't object to the fact that the rat was killed because
rats carry disease but the torture bothered me. No animal or person deserves to
be tortured. I hope that was just a youthful indescretion.
Webmaster's
note: Reader Hohman needs to lookup the word "torture" in
her dictionary and then re-read my story about the rat.
A couple of inward pikes, several forward one-and-a-halfs with a tuck and maybe
a few belly-flops into the water-well probably caused the rat no more misery
than someone trying out for a position on an Olympic diving team.

I am a 50-year Nam vet. I served in Khe Sanh for 6 months as a grunt. 2 of my
buddies were killed, one by the REMFs and the spooks and by an NVA sniper. This
page is an exellent autobiagraphy for a Nam vet.

Dear Dear Dave, Terrific piece of writing and it brought back great memories of
my time in the same AO albeit a few years earlier. I was an Infantry Captain
with a 5 man advisor team at the tri-walled fort at the southern edge of Go Da
Ha village approx 14 KM west of Cu Chi. We advised (basically commanded) the
4th battalion, 49th regiment, ARVN 25th Div. What a ride that was! I stayed for
a career retiring as a Colonel in 1983 and then did what the Lord had in store
for me all along - I taught in an elementary school, grades K-8, and also held
the vice prin slot. I derly loved those kids and retired from teaching in 1993,
leaving Delaware and building a home on 8 acres in the boonies of eastern
Virginia. I "walk point" with my 3 dogs and enjoy each day with the
love of my life, Maura, whom I married between Nam tours in 1967. Send me an
Email and I'll share some tales with you and also send on your home address as
I would like to send you a copy of a speech I gave at the dedication of
Delaware's Vietnam Memorial on Veterans Day, 1983. By the way, I received your
writings via an Email from the wife of my lifelong Army buddy who was at the
Tra Cu Special Forces camp in 1966 when I was approx 7 miles away at Go Da Ha.
We surely do remember shower shoes, boxer shorts and showering under a 55 gal
drum. The water from my well was the color of diluted milk! God Bless, Ed Jentz
