Hi Steve -

Am in the Bay Area of California now -

I was born in Saigon and became a refugee after April 30th, 1975 -

I collect mainly war trophies from the 2nd Indo-China war -

Thank you -

Saigon, do you mind sharing the tale of your exodus from Vietnam?

A substantial part of my library is dedicated to the US involvement there, particularly the activities of MAC-V SOG and Navy SEALs.

Thank you Gents -

I'll write up a short version of our escapade soon -

@steve - I just befriended the son of a late MACV fella - Oh what a wonderful connection this is -

His late father is "Lt. Colonel Jesse Ramos - Special Forces 8th group" -

He was one of the first group to start the HALO program with Richard Meadows -

Hi Saigon, and welcome. I've only just joined, so we are both 'new recruits' !

Saigon, that's nothing short of awesome. Some crazy bastards, that's for sure.
