Did you serve in Vietnam? I'm a high school history teacher - if you don't mind, I'd love to hear about your experience sometime. Obviously over PM or whatever, and I totally understand if this is too much to ask for, but my students never really seem to understand that the events in our history actually impacted real people just like them... anyway, thanks for all the help. It's been super. |
Yep, California has changed a lot since the 1960s ....... like I said, I couldn't afford to move back there.
Although I was on active duty in the Army from 1966-1968, I was never sent to Vietnam. However, all soldiers trained for and lived that era.
I think you should ask Santa for some new tires for your car ....... life is too damn short to drive on tires that you don't like, especially on a sports car ......
