Card_from_Joe.jpgChristmas Card from friend Manuel "Joe" GuerreroManuel "Joe" Guerrero sent a Christmas card to let me know that he was "selected" and made it to Vietnam with the deployment of the 3rd Brigade of the 25th Inf Division. My service ended in September, 1965, but I stayed in touch with my buddies.
Joe's card reads, "Hoping you have a good time. As you can see, I made "the 4" (rank). Nice Christmas present from the Army along with Vietnam. It's official. Best Wishes for the New Year. JoeJul 10, 2017
