Our holidays like I mentioned earlier we just got more prepared for what was coming. The 68 Tet offensive should have opened their eyes. There's no time out for holidays. The one thing I looked forward from home was my care package my mom sent every month. Anything from home from anyone helped keep us going. God Bless, my friend & comrade.

I didn't have any special someone back in the world to send me stuff. The few letters I wrote were to the estranged folks back home to let them know I was still alive.

For me being out in the Ashau time out just meant gear up & be ever more alert than usual. We too chipped in for whatever holiday it was just to help make us feel more normal that it was. still in all those of us wherever we were there did whatever it took to make our lives feel like back home. Thanksgiving was & still is my most cherished holiday. That's when all of my family out aside their differences & we were one family even for a short while, & to this day I miss my Mom's dressing more that anything. Thanks for your service also my friend. God Bless you & yours , always.Michael Lansfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680984228843410546.post-78684011710567185622014-07-05T08:38:04.692-04:002014-07-05T08:38:04.692-04:00Those were the days I remember.

My parents sent me a canned ham, other guys were sent things also and we chipped in and made a feast out of it, and a few c-rats, and just sitting around taking about home. I was attached to C-company, 3rd Engineer Bn. --Allen J. FolkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
