Thanks so much for posting that! I am going to pounce on my dad. He served
stateside during Viet Nam, before he met my mom. I will interview Mom too,
to get a civilian/female point of view, AND get all sorts of biographical
info I might not have gotten otherwise.

Thanks again, Sally, what a great link!
