Thanks, Bot, posting that link.

I still have tears on my face.

Definitely one of the best things ever posted here.

Botany, thank you for providing the link.

My family was one of the lucky ones, my brother came home from Vietnam in November 1968. That year from October 1967 to November 1968 what a nightmare for my grandmother and my Mom and Dad. I still vividly remember that night he got home. We stayed up practically all night and the next morning my Mom called my HS and told them I wouldn't be in until after lunch.

Terry's gone now, he died in 2003 of colon cancer that my sister-in-law, my sister and myself are convinced was caused by his exposure to Agent Orange in that hellhole.
