A VERY SAD ANNIVERSARY

This was one of the saddest days of my entire life, for this was MY war, where I served in the United States Army from 12 December 1969 until 21 February 1972:

I remember sitting in the living room and watching the news on television.

At the time, I was living with my new bride, Bonnie, in Walker Village, a military housing area on Fort Hood, Texas, where I was a sergeant and a squad leader in the Scout Section for the Second Battalion of the Twelfth Cavalry Regiment in the First Cavalry Division.
