Letters From Vietnam
LETTERS FROM VIETNAM.........Volume One......
November and December...1967/68.......
I drove by your house...several times...In hopes of seeing you......but then I had to go
away....
Dearest Sharon,
I missed your Prom....I had other commitments....
Hemingway...was the very first American causality of WWI...in Italy....a young man. He fell
in love...with his nurse....and his love was not denied....but it was not taken either...
because of the riches of an Italian Duke....she left him....his words did not persuade
her.....as he had prayed.
Jack Riley......Sat in a mud hole....it was still raining.....
He had just called in a Air Strike Mission!. This was going to be close...It had to be.....He
needed time to get to them out..........FUBAR.....!!!!!!
The Jets' screamed down the Valley at dusk!........The first Fighter Jet dived low and
slow.....to draw enemy fire ..hopefully...then the second Fighter Jet would come in.....and
destroy the target.....at my command.....again...hopefully....
Randall Smith.....Vietnam
