Dick+Stanley+in+VietnamThis was somewhere in the foothills of the Annamese Cordillera southwest of Da Nang, late August or September. When I was using lace-up zippers in my boots but before, it seems to be, I started adding my dog tags to them for surer body identification. Note the bipod on the M-14 at left.

    You were a handsome guy back then before the beard. But I guess we all were pretty good looking.

    Well, you were a lot smaller. Hmm. We both were.

    All of us were in better shape, running in boots every day in OCS for six months. Then humpin’ through the bush in VN for another six months and, in some cases (not me), for a year.
