received a Red Cross "care package" from a ladies group in New England.
It had these blue

 We employed wives, daughters, dependents of Vietnamese Army personnel as cleanup people in the hootches. The women would sweep the hootches, make our beds, shine our boots and wash our clothes. The old men would burn the latrine waste. |
