MEMORIES
I "rolled the dice" and lost! When the 2/9th Arty went home, all personnel that had 6 months or less time left of service in Vietnam went home with the unit...back to Hawaii. Unfortunately, I had extended for 63 days to get out of the service when I got home. I think my idea for an "early out" had some unintended consequences!
Spent 99% of my time in the field with 5/16th. I
was released from the Army approx. 24 hours after landing at Ft. Lewis,
WA................. Talk about a shock to the system..........
