Just thought I would share with everyone the new Logo for Gonzo.

This is of course with Anita's permission. After I got done she liked it. She says it suits Gonzo and myself...Let me know what everyone thinks.

 

But since your here I might as well share something else with everyone. These are some photos I took in vietnam, to which my wife wouldn't let me throw out. So I thought I would show some of the crazy stuff I went thru during my 3 year tour.........

I was a door gunner in the 1st cav. and these are some of the photos I

took while inside the Huey UH1D This is a reported vietcong strong hold

we were attacking.

 

Photo aboard chopper. Missles fired against an NVA Target

 

firebase Charlie Da Nang area.....Thank you so much Tricky Dick Nixon........

Operation Dust off. Picking up wounded troups.

All I can remember here is I wanted so bad

to go back with them. We had had a really

bad shoot out with the NVA (North Vietnamese Army)

a quick photo and a quick retreat.....As I remember we were taking in heavy

fire..........

Photo taken on our way back to Firebase Charlie.....

 

A SAD SIGHT INDEED.......We were just dropped off. As for

myself, sometimes I did get ground duty...EXTREME SUCK!!!

 

Now this is a photo of the brown river rat patrol They were the only Navy boys

with us. These boats are refered to as PBR'S, They had two models the Mark I

and the Mark II. The one hanging I think is a Mark II.

Anyway, there you have it.

This is some of what I have left

from my 3 year free tour of the peoples WONDERFUL Republic of Vietnam.......

This part of the blog is sponsored by two really wonderful dirtbags..

Lets give them all a wonderful hand for all the death, insanity and betrayals that followed.....

 

 

i Have to apologize Everyone, just blowing off some steam............

M.T.D.

I remember that people were shooting themselves to get out of there. And yet we never learn.

I hate that Americans were so hateful to the soldiers coming home. Not a particular proud moment of American history. I remember my sister had a POW bracelet she wore and I do remember that person coming home and the news clippings she had of him. I was so young then (born 1964) so I didn't understand truly what was happening.

And yes, I echo Snoopy on this -- I THANK you for the years you gave of your life to go to that hell hole.

thanks for posting the pics. My father was telling my some stories of when he was over there and i was so inspired by him to write down all of his stories. I kidded with him that I would title it Stories My Father Told Me and that I would sell tons to people thinking they were fairy tails. Thank you for rekindling that flame for me.
