Tom, That would indeed be an Honour I could only hope to do one day. To do so with a fellow comrade in arms would be a pleasure.

You are right. Vietnam was a party compared with what WW1 troopers went through. I collect books that were written by infantrymen who told of their experiences there. It would have tested the best of us.

Col. Anthony B Herbert wrote an excellent book about just this subject called Soldier. If one wants to learn a little about the Korean and VN conflict this is a must read. He was a brigade commander of the 173rd Airborne. He was the one who instigated night fighting that the 173rd was so succesful with. Jerry Burney
