My dad was drafted in 1965, was a squad leader in the 1st Infantry division, his rank was spec 4 he was in the ranger unit, one of the main camps he was at was Camp Lai Khe. He did his basic training in Fort Polk, Louisiana. I was looking for some pics of that exact place and time....any help would be great...my dad is alive and well except for some things that agent orange caused...but I LOVE MY DAD WITH ALL MY HEART for what he did for our country.

@ColoradoNative100 So very sorry for your loss. I could have easily been in your situation but God spared my Dad. May He bless you & yours. Please know that your sacrifice & that of your Father were not in vain. There are many of us out here that love & appreciate our Vietnam Vets & still mourn the loss of men like your Dad. Be well...

[ColoradoNative100]

@sonofrattler Thanks for your comments. I do appreciate it very much. When I see the current state of affairs, I see too many people who have long forgotten.

We still live in the BEST country in the world and I'm proud to be an American. I wish our current administration would see it the same way.

God Blass and Merry Christmas
