Jack,

Besides memories, I have very few "momentos" of my tour: Letters from home, a few photos and this South Vietnamese flag that I pulled down from a hooch after a firefight along side the Ong Nho river on May 10th, 1968 during "The Battle of Saigon":

There was a lot of lead flying that day and I owe my butt to a headstone that I was able to hunker behind. I think it's fits in your category of "well used Vietnam War era stuff".

If you ever get out to California, look me up and I'll buy you a beer and show you a few old knives.

Best,

Ron
