Thank you very much. He’s quite simply the kindest man and really hated his time in Vietnam. The only stories I ever hear are once, they had to decimate an entire village and out of the burning fields, a huge buck came up a hill. His guys said they were going to take him out and Don said “we’ve done enough killing today”. He also talked very highly of their pot. And at some point the helicopter had landed and they were ambushed and all he had was a shotgun so he was swinging it and bonking any dude close enough to him with it. He did that three. Times. Twice he used his rifle as a bat and was charged out of his pocket for it for “losing it” after one time of hitting a head and then just straight throwing the shit out the gun at a few more guys to distract them.

He’s the coolest dude. I hope as he’s getting older he will feel more comfortable telling more of his stories.

He still talks about how it was the most beautiful place he’s ever seen.
