Extensive NGFS offshore Viet Nam. Wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything. God Bless Lisa Yuen from Hong Kong, I miss her even today.
Would like to see a copy of the second cruise book . ('68?). I have the first book and payed in advance for the second but never recieved it.
Thanks to all who served.
