Bill, I can relate to your story. After my tour on the gun line I got an early out upon arrival in Norfolk, Va. our home port. My dad took care of my Brittany while I was overseas and mom and dad picked me up in Norfolk. Dad presented me with a nice Belgium Browning over under which I shot for quite a few years. I didn't miss hunting season that year. It was great to be back and nice to not being the target every other day by North Vietnamese coastal artillery.
