| Description: | For the first time, I'm reading hundreds of letters that my father sent to my mother before, during, and after his tour in Vietnam. I don't know what they say and I don't know where this is going, so we'll be finding out at the same time. He passed away in 1992 when he was 44 years old, but they begin when he was 19.

“Everyone is sitting around singing new words to old songs.”
June 4, 1969. Camp Evans, Vietnam. Dear Rita, Okay, here’s that cheerful letter I promised you, and I am in a pretty good mood, so… One reason I’m in a good mood is because today I worked on helicopters, after not being near one for three days. That’s a big help. Also, no one was bugging us for a change. Real different. This morning we did go out to the range and sighted in our weapons. I found that I had a real fine one. I’m going to send one of my targets to Bob and let him eat his heart out. The

The laptop I use to post is dead. Gotta find a new power cable before it’s up again and I can do any more. Keep checking back. Apologies, Ethan

No post today
I’m back in school and, it would seem, distracted. Turns out I missed an audio post. It’s a June 2nd tape so it’s only late by a day but I don’t want to put any more up before I get it edited and ready to go. Look for it on Thursday. Ethan

“Ron G. and I were assigned as drivers of the maintenance platoon trucks.”
June 3, 1969. Camp Evans, Vietnam. Dearest Rita, Don’t expect this to be too long, ‘cause I just have a few minutes. I should be eating, but I’ll just grab a bite before they close down the line. I’ve been working my ___ off for the last couple of days. Tomorrow we have a C.M.M.I. inspection. Don’t ask me what it stands for, but a bunch of bigwigs come down and over our equipment with fine tooth combs. Anyway, just a couple days ago Ron G. and I were assigned as drivers of the maintenance platoon trucks. So for three days str
