The way our Vets are treated is despicable. My uncle did two combat tours of duty back to back, first in Korea and then in Nam. I was never very good in history, but having lived through the period in question I have to conclude that you have fabricated this story about your uncle out of whole cloth. Unless my memory fails me, which is possible, there was a considerable interval of years between the time combat ceased in Korea, and the time combat started in "Nam", how do you get "two combat tours of duty back to back, first in Korea and then in Nam" out of that?

Regards, John Byrns -- Surf my web pages at, http://fmamradios.com/ Yes there was a big interval between those two wars but he was stationed there after the war during the 60s. He even helped in setting up some orphanages there after the war as well as other things. My point was he served our military from Korea to Vietnam. I didn't mean he was continually in combat. BH |

Regards, John Byrns I am sure 'back to back' was used figuratively. My uncle served in combat in WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. Not 'back to back' but close enough. |

BH We still take occasional casualties here. There's a camp on the DMZ named after an officer that was killed up there by an ax-weilding N. Korean. |
