I am one of those who caught the tail end of the Vietnam War in 1974. I didn't spend more than a couple of months sailing up and down the coast that winter in a small boat so I don't qualify as much as the guys who tramped through the jungles. I was only 18 at the time. But, I did deploy seven other times after that with my last trip being to Afghanistan with the 489th Civil Affairs Batt. in 2002. I am all about being a Veteran for Peace now.
