(xyclos_b).....I have only met a few people so far at some of these SacAirsoft scenarios...anyway, I just wanted to tell you that my Dad just passed away at 58 years of age on November 10, 2005, yes, the day before veteran's day...weird huh? Anyway, he died of colon cancer, nerve problems from agent orange..etc..it just added up and was too much for him, plus he smoked too much and din't eat right, but when he was young, he was a very strong individual and a force to be reckoned with while in Vietnam. He was a "TANKER" with the 11th Armored Cavalry/H Company/2cnd Squadron and made it through part of the Tet Offensive. He wasn't a good husband to my mother, but he was a decent father and loved his country.

Oh...also I wanted to say that I have heard about how some of the gunboat action was never recorded by the Navy. I hope that your Dads action was recorded. I'm sure he played a key role while serving. Hats off to him :)
