re: The worst wars to be a US soldier in

Due to the helicopter, troops in Vietnam saw more days of combat than their predecessors.

My daddy is a USMC Vietnam Vet and to this day, anytime he hears the whoooop whooooop whooop of a Huey it makes his heart surge with happiness.

He said when they heard that Huey it meant they were getting out of hell on earth. He was very blessed bc one of top commanders found out he graduated from St Joseph and back in the 60s apparently catholic schools were the select few who taught typing. They called him and he was scared he was trouble but instead he was asked how well he could type. He said he smiled so big bc he could speed type & told them 80wmp. He was promoted and become that commander’s personal secretary and spent the rest of his time typing all the correspondence in Da Nang instead of being in that jungle.

He wrote a letter that night thanking my MawMaw for sacrificing to put him thru Catholic school.
