Not trying to be conforntational, the song says 8 Nov, 65, is there something about the dates I'm missing?

Nam seems like two life times ago and like yesterday, does that make any sense?

I understand. March 29th 1973 - last combat troops left Vietnam.

Thanks for the clarification, hard to believe I was there 43 years ago.

"Just doin' what he had to do."

In uniform. With uniformity.

As they do to this day.

As they will do tomorrow.

For us all.

Thank you.

For those that made it home...thank you.

For those that didn't.....thank you and I'm so sorry.

 

[Mr. H.]

March of '73 as I recall, college deferments were negated. I fully expected to be drafted that Fall.

It wasn't to be.
