Speaker Hill
(Paul Ozanich)
The post re: Sgt. Jenkins brought back some eerie memories for me. I was with Co C, 1/38th in the summer of '68 and ran ambush patrols into the zone.

The Insulted Forgotten Veteran
(Daryl Eperjesi)
I'm glad to see the term "Forgotten Veteran". That's how I've been refering to those of us who were on the DMZ in '68 and '69. That's what we are to the rest of the world. I went to Korea because I was only 17 years old, and too young to go to Vietnam. But, being so young, I came away with a lot... More |
