Unfortunately Allen, most people have forgotten about "Nam" and that part, about the Tet offensive most people (in their 20's to 40's) would never remember or even know where it was fought Or could care less...............That's the sad part.

It's been a long time since I talked to someone who understood what this holiday was about.... I guess I am an old fart, pretty sad..................
