Today we honor our veterans from our wars……this will be my last post of the day….as a Vietnam Vet I am taking the day to remember fallen friends and reflect on life and liberty…..

My days of war came twice…….October 1967-October 1968 and March of 1969-March 1971…..during those days I was assigned to the 9th Infantry Division and then MACV….and during those times I was a LRRP….Long Range Recon……and then the Rangers (by default)……

Maybe I should pause here and explain why when I mention I was a Ranger I always say “by default not choice”……when I was in Vietnam I was in the LRRPs then we were reflagged as Co. E 50th infantry of 9th infantry division and then re-flagged again when the Rangers were re-started and we became Co. E 75th Rangers……so I became a Ranger by default…..sorry to the Rangers……but I will always be a LRRP.

This lengthy video is about my days of fighting…..not my unit specifically but rather all LRRP units…….please watch it….these men deserve more recognition than they have ever gotten….for their legacy is ties up in that of the Rangers…..

Thank you for your time and attention in this matter……

Please take some time today and remember those vets that did not return….

Have a great day my friends……..

Now go out and enjoy your day with family and friends….

Tomorrow will be another day…….
