        Thank you very much Mr. Miller.

        I knew someone on the forum could help me with that one.

              Nice stuff!! I have started collecting a few vietnam items myself. I remember finding my uncles stack of vietnam leatherneck and gun magazines as a kid in the 70's. Just in trouble for trying to build Viet cong booby traps in the back yard

                  Yes, he came home and is still alive today.
                  His only wounds were some shrapnel to the arm.

                      Wingman,

                      It seems you are from a very patriotic family.
                      I'm proud to be 3rd generation military.

                      Sorry you lost your tunnel rat stuff. My dad used to have a few duffels worth of stuff in the garage, back when I didn't know or care what memorabilia was.
                      At some point he junked it all!!!!!

                      All I have are a few pics, and one day I will get his purple heart, Big Red One vietnam album, and his zippo!!....but I hope that day isn't for a long time.
