I would like to start this off by telling you that in our 11th grade English class we have been reading the book "The Things They Carried". this book got me interested in the Vietnam war and what people who had fought in it had to say years later. the incident you've explained sounds like something that for one you could never forget for loosing some of your good friends and second you may be wondering why it had to happen to you. I guess you could say it was just a case of wrong place at the wrong time, but do you ever think about how the war would have gone, had you not taken that route on the ambush. I think if i had gone through this sort of situation i would think about what could have happened everyday. either way I want to thank you for fighting for our country even when the motives may not have been so clear, so once again, thank you.
