Colonel Smitty & incredible lady Louise, your story, so we'll presented, made my heart & head burst. You both are most excellent examples that my generation was pretty darn great too. I was an Air Force Nurse/Flight Nurse during VietNam war. I got lucky & didn't have to go in country. I remember felling when they announced we were flying into NVN to bring the POWs home, wishing I could have had that honor. Your dedication, & honor displayed by both of you here truly is phenominal. Thank you both. Please stay well.

Damn. I was a Marine grunt in Vietnam. After listening to this, I feel embarrassed to think we had it rough. GBU Colonel.

Why is the background music so ridiculously loud that you can’t hear the story?
