I flew into Okinawa on my over to Nam, the first thing I saw on approach to the airport was a A&W sign out the port side window. Spent six weeks at Camp Schwab before shipping out.
TY for your service. One point of clarification--the NVA DID take prisoners but only a select few. Pilots and other officers would be captured and sent to Hanoi. Grunts and door gunners were shot on the spot if captured, yes.
@@joshboncoeur6985 I think he said neither side was taking prisoners, meaning at that time and place in his experience. Obviously he didn't mean not a single prisoner was ever taken by the NVA during the whole war, I'm sure he knows that would be a ridiculous statement.
Man if I can look this young and sharp at 77 you won’t here a complaint from me
