Listen closely and you will find REAL life as we knew it back in those days we fought for our unappreciative country. Life got to be a little UNREAL when we came home. Thanks to folks like Vietnam editors these guys may find some of the exposure they so richly deserve. BTW I flew some missions with the 48th AHC and those bluestars deserve some songs about Lam Son 719.

Sadly we lost him a couple of years ago. Respiratory problems due to exposure to agent orange. He was a good friend ans is sorely missed.

His work is outstanding! I've used the album in my high school history classes to give my students a perspective of the war they would not get from their books.
