Oh WOW ,pity me ? You want to hang out with your friends it’s okay with me . I said all the search for recognition makes me nauseous. I wasn’t going to bring it up but my first time in Vietnam was fighting with the French in 1954 after numerous years in Vietnam ,Laos and Cambodia I found myself in the last weeks before the fall trying to hold the line at different places with my brave Vietnamese paratroopers . So good luck with the hats , pins , trophies and fast food discounts. I just prefer the respect of the guys who fought on either side of me .
