Infantry Division, and came home in July of 1968

"I remember running into
Lanny in Cu Chi South Vietnam. It was such a great experience running into
someone from your hometown. I really don't think Baytown knows how many
soldiers went to Vietnam. I also ran into Dennis Underwood who was a
chopper pilot, Ronnie Thompson, who was a door gunner for the 25th Infantry
Division. After finding these guys it was like home again, but the bad part
was we had lost our innocence. Welcome home all of you brothers."
Charlie.
