and he would tell me stories of his time there... like when he was delivering classified documents to Khe Sanh... the plane wouldn't actually land... they would fly over low and slow and lower the rear ramp... push out the supplies and my friend would jump to the airstrip while all around the marines would lay down suppressing fire. Mad dash to a trench...
