We had just been exposed to the \"burn pit\" that was South Vietnam. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI have never been one to journal or take notes. My outlook on life has always been, \u003ci\u003e\"Do what needs to be done today, then move on to tomorrow.\"\u003c\/i\u003e I had been reluctant to write a book about my year in Vietnam since it would all be based on the memories of what occurred fifty-six years ago. However, my counselor told me it would be good therapy, so I'm writing it. With a few exceptions, the book will not include dates, times, or exact chronological order. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI did benefit from internet sources that helped confirm some dates and events in which I participated. Most of the photos are from my own collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary R.
