In 1960, when this came out, I was a sophmore in High School, Allen Park, MI. My dad was a Ford worker and we had just bought a new brick ranch house. I remember Dad putting on this record on the new hi-fi we had in the new living room. What great memories

@nomiclas 1ST...I`m not ashamed at all for what WE did to those people!!! & I don`t regret what I did ;or how many I killed. I was USA Army Soldier trained as a Forward Observer to call in Artillery..that`s just what I did. I saw first hand at the Cowardice of some of the ARVN troops and the Brutal Killings of what the VC and the NVA did to their own people. I didn`t spend anytime building anything like you did &I knew who cut my Hair both tours. AND I`M STILL STANDING TALL, in 2011
