There's one thing after another.

And then when we landed, I think it was Ben Hatt, but Norm Doney, my old team leader and father figure, and Mike Buckland, who went through all

the training with me, 37 of us, and he's about the only one left alive besides me, you know.

And they're there waiting for me and hugging and all that kind of a thing, and so glad to see us.

And I remember too, because the guys were so glad to see me and hug,

I remember I got some Vietnamese there, too.

And I'm half drunk, being twisted in the air, spinning and spinning as far as it'll spin.

And then we'd go the other way.

So sick and everything else.

But I went over and I hugged my Vietnamese.

They're important, too.

And I went and I hugged them.

And I said, you OK?

And made sure they were good.

And that was the mission.

And I was at Pleiku Field Hospital.

And Norm Doney and Mike Buckland came to see me.

They drove six miles from Khantoum to Pleiku to see me and all that stuff.

We went outside and found a table outside under the sun.

And he gave me the heads up, this is what you guys found.
