A klick was short for Kilometer. I went through Ft Ord infantry AIT as a draftee in Aug of 67. It was known as a training spot for duty in Germany at the time. EOD is Explosive Ordnance Disposal. I was in Vietnam from Oct 68- May 69. I visited the Wall on a rainy night and touched the name of Roger Ward who was my best friend in Basic Training. He was killed in April of 1968. Welcome home brother and may God bless you.
Our freedom for their eternal hell. I was born in 1973 I was raised on Vietnam war movies. They were our heroes. I had no idea that they came home to such evil horrible disrespectful people that spit on them my God. I hope and pray that they find peace before they die of old age😢 that is a shame that we will carry as a country the way that these men were treated and everyone who contributed I hope they know what they did to these men.
My father was a career Army Officer. He served in WWII (Guadalcanal,) Korea and Vietnam as General Nguyen Van Thieu's advisor up in I-Corp. Most of their opts were in the A Sau Valley. Close quarter combat (at times, within arms reach they were ambushed.) Terrifying combat action that resulted in my father returning with severe PTSD. He never sought treatment and turned our home into a war zone. He drank heavy, beat us severely; I was the only one to ever fight back. I paid a heavy price at the tender age of 13. When I was 16, I got my revenge. He hit me and I beat him into complete submission. I was arrested, sent to DOC as a violent offender and would never return home again. Just prior to my 18th birthday, I was released as an emancipatory minor and would never return home again. My father died in 1980, was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. I did not attend his funeral.
Thank you very much for all your contributions to our freedoms

In a tawdry world/ When your center has moved/. Reinvent the life/ Avoid ambushes to get ahead. Just saying.
