"I was in the Navy stationed at Bethesda naval Hospital when the Tonkin Gulf incident happened that started the war in Vietnam. I took care of marines flown in from being in a skuzzy rice paddy who still had blood and mud on them from less than 12 - 24 hours ago in SE Asia. I didn't get shot at. I just had heart ache for these men. I still have dreams of them."
