Come on Fitz, SMILE, you were real "short" by now.
(And "where's your hat soldier?")
"But Sir, I don't wanna mess my hair up!"


    Remembered, but not pictured: 
    Raymond Wittevrongel from New Jersey who "showed me the ropes" in Saigon.
    Even though he almost got me arrested one night in Saigon when he took me into
    an "off limits"
area. (But he did talk the MP out of writing me up!)


AussiePatch


The Australian soldier I met one night at a beer party on Bien Hoa Air Base. After exchanging life stories over quite a few "cold ones", we exchanged patches off of our shirts and never seen each other again. Hope you made it home mate!
