Carbines in Vietnam

[frankderrico]

Herc, you got that right.
A friend that served there gave me a call on New Years eve back in the '80's. It was unusual in that I had moved to Wis. in the late '70's and hadn't had much contact with him except for some weddings or funerals for a few years. He always seemed messed up by his expriance there. Drafted and didn't want to go.
We talked for awhile and then he said good by in a strange way. I found out later that he called all the old guys that night and then took his own life.

Very sad and tragic.....Frank
