I'll be 70 next week. Seems like only yesterday I was 17 and going off to the University of Wisconsin with a NROTC full-ride scholarship wondering what was going on over in a place called Viet Nam. I remember my dad, a USMCR Captain-veteran of 4 amphibious landings in the South Pacific telling me he would understand it if I choose to go to Canada! He said he had been worried about being recalled for the fiasco in Korea(his unit was with the "Frozen at Chosin"):<br />

Now he said the country was heading down the same road that the French had traveled in Indo-China and it would end in a fiasco. He was right!Havenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00241578802837239682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713905523632630108.post-38573461513800797742013-04-30T08:57:00.002-07:002013-04-30T08:57:53.141-07:00today's paper!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/521901732">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br /><br />
Now I've got to get the first book, The Last Detail! Saw the movie, of course, when it came out. I had been a "swabbie" enlisted seaman for my "two years before the mast" on a WWII liberty ship converted to a intelligence-gathering "spy" ship similar to the Pueblo. I could relate to all three of the main characters and was familiar with times! <br /><br />All that said, This book makes the transition to the present, well a few years ago, an understandable leap!<br /><br />Savvy and succinct, deeper than you think. Question Authority<br />

My cousin thought I should question whether or not to leave the photo of my original birth certificate on the blog so I just removed it! Don't want any criminal/terrorist running around with my identity.</div>
<br />
I doubt whether this is of any value to someone with nefarious intent!<br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;">(By Bertha Berdel)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;">After 31 long years, two buddies of World War I had a happy reunion on Thanksgiving Day. Arthur Goetzman, formerly of Lock Berlin and Pilgrimport, and who has been a patient in the U. S. Veterans' Facility at Canandaigua and other hospitals since World War I because of shell shock, and Roy DeMay, now a farmer in East Williamson, met at the home of Mr. Goetzman's brother, Walter, in East Williamson last Thursday. While Arthur and his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Burton Allee of Lyons, were holiday guests of the Goetzmans in East Williamson, DeMay came to visit, and the two met for the first time since that terrible night in No Man's Land, 31 years ago, when they were sent out through heavy artillery fire to deliver some important messages to the American commander at the front. Privates in Co. F. 305th Regiment, 77th Division, stationed at Mousson, France, following the battle of Chateau Thierry, in which they took part; Goetzman and DeMay, carrying the messages, were proceeding between heavy artillery fire from both sides. The night was pitch dark; the only light coming from flashes of the big guns. The two soldiers crawled along over the rough terrain, fell into shell holes half full of water, through barbed wire, with the guns constantly booming around them, when suddenly DeMay missed his comrade but could not find him, and proceeded without him. Upon his return, DeMay reported Goetzman missing. The next morning, Goetzman was found lying close to the German lines. Arthur was placed in a hospital in France and his mother, the late Mrs. Bertha Goetzman of Lock Berlin, was notified to this effect. Arthur has been in hospitals most of the time since, suffering from shell-shock. He remembered starting out with DeMay to deliver the messages, but as to what happened to him after that, his mind has always been a blank; and no one of Arthur's family has ever known what happened to him on that terrible night so long ago, until Thanksgiving Day when DeMay cleared up the mystery that has hung over Arthur's illness all these years. Much improved in health, Goetzman is able to assist in the farm work at the Veterans' hospital in Canandaigua, where he has been a patient for 14 years.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"><br />
