Vietnam War '67 - '68

Photos from a tour in Vietnam as a combat medic with the 2/2nd Infantry (Mechanized) Ramrods and 2/28th Infantry Black Lions, 1st Infantry Division. Although most were, not all of these photos were taken by me personally. Some were taken by friends or came from archives or other sources. I have had the privilege of reconnecting with many of the guys I served with in the last several years through the magic of the internet. They were brave soldiers and I am blessed to have these good friends whose courage and loyalty I respect and treasure.

The gallery shares experiences and people that were important in my life and the lives of others. It also attempts to recognize those who should be more than just names on a wall or award citations. I have added details and recollections when relevant (although sometimes irreverently and probably not always accurately) and links to other sources in order to provide more information. If you are interested in historical photos you will find some of those. If you are interested in learning more about what those photos mean then please read the narratives and follow the links. Comments are very much appreciated.
