The only thing Dad talked about concerning Vietnam was there was 1 time the base was being mortared and everyone went to bunkers. 2 hours after the mortaring stopped, he was bored and left the bunker to check on “his” planes and the base. He was offered an award, which he turned down. 1/2

And there was 1 time when they caught a 12 year old girl planted mines outside the front gate. The base commander was off base and he was the highest rank at CWO-4. He had to order her shot. That one was really hard on him.

Oh, that's horrible. How sad all around.
