Memorial Day

My uncle is a Vietnam vet. The way he ended up in Vietnam is actually ironic. He was stationed by the Air Force in Las Vegas, and had applied to leave the country (because he was bored) thinking they would send him to Germany or Italy. The Air Force HAD NEVER sent second-year dentists to Vietnam before. He and a friend were the first two to go. He worked in a MASH unit behind the front lines.
