Would I do it again. There is no way that I wouldn't do it again. My
   family has served in every conflict since before the Revolution. It was a
   tradition to serve. I would have been a traitor to both my country and my
   family not to have served during a time of crisis.

   The only thing that I would do different is that I would have stayed in
   instead of getting out after three years. Why is that? When I returned
   home there wasn't a day that passed that I didn't think about my fellow
   soilders I served with, both the U.S Army Special Forces and their
   Indigenous comrades in arms.

   On the day that Pleiku fell to the communist I was setting alone in my
   living room. My Mom came in from work and saw me. I guess I had the look
   of a ghost on my face, for she said that "I see that you have heard that
   Pleiku has fallen?" I just said yes, I heard and retired to my room to look
   at old photo's. I have never been so disapointed in my country's leadership
   as I was at that moment.

   I worked building military hardware for about twenty years, but it wasn't
   the same thing.

   Yes, I would do it again and I would stay for twenty or thirty years. It
   took me thirty years to find my brothers in arms again and I would like to
   say a very special thank you for not making me feel like a damn deserter.
