============================================================
I remember the scene at home in 1967 when I announced I
was going to enlist.
My Dad was proud. He could not go in '42 because he
was 4F due to polio.
My Mom was almost in tears because of Viet Nam.....
My little brother was immediately making plans to take
my room......
But the real kicker was seven months later when I came
home on Christmas leave. After I came through the door and
put my things down, Dad asked if I wanted a drink.....
My mother's jaw dropped, she still could not get used to
the idea her little boy was twentyone and on his own.....
