The Last Word

For all of you Vietnam Vets, if you want to feel old, you were in the middle of the Tet Offensive 44 years ago assuming you were “in country” as I was.  Time sure has a way of going fast but that 7-10 day period left very lasting memories for me.  It was suppose to be a cease fire period just like Christmas had been.  I suspect that will be the last time the US military agrees to a cease fire short of the ending of a war.   Each generation has their “Tet”, whether it’s the Battle of the Bulge, Heart Break Ridge, or Tora Bora that leaves a lasting memory on those who were there and with time, they will be the only ones who remember it.  But that is only right because they have ownership to that piece of history.
