I’ll have to download it to read.
My dad and two of his brothers were all serving in the navy at the same time. My dad and his older brother volunteered. The younger brother was drafted. All spent time in Vietnam.
Despite Vietnam and the Libery, my dad looks at his time in the navy fondly. He does have a lot of good stories about travel and experiences and friends he made. He just doesn’t talk much about Vietnam or the Liberty.
Next time he’s out, I’m hoping to take him to visit the Midway.
