On of the fellas he served with didn't want his grandmother to worry, so he told her he was a mechanic, rather than an infantryman. At Christmas, she sent him an electric drill, which was delivered to him, out in the field. His teammates never let him hear the end of that.<br />Blessings.Todd Dierdorffhttp://www.aconservativeperspective.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680984228843410546.post-90533697040411539802014-08-02T08:56:51.358-04:002014-08-02T08:56:51.358-04:00Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm going to post it on my Facebook page in hopes that even more people we will read and share this. I will do the same about the drug use in "the Nam," that was posted earlier this week. CJ, you and your crew are doing a great service not just for those who served but also for those of us aging boomers who still care what the heck happened over there and try to understand it to this day. In the fine tradition of oral history. You all rock, big time! Kay in Houston TXkkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296326994943617709noreply@blogger.com
