From: Tabor, Iowa
E-mail: janpool@iowatelecom.net 		A going away party in Viet Nam, at least in the 3rd Ord was basically just another excuse to drink for each man just sort of oozed in and out of the unit. The departing man faded away without fanfare or an organized celebration. The good-byes among comrades and friends were more sincere because the departing felt guilty about leaving their teammates with a hazardous job unfinished, while those being left behind were jealous as well as glad for the lucky soldier returning to the world. Returning to the states was a distinct moment in time that we all hoped to live long enough to achieve. It was a goal that men prayed for, a day that was counted down to with short-timer calendars and posters. And yet that day of clearing the post was a defining moment in life that we all knew would never pass again. It was a summit you had fought to reach and at the same time a low, nearly depressing unavoidable life altering event. Each man signed out of the unit to slip away alone hoping to find a new life without the aid of the closest friendship he would ever form. It was also understood no matter how many promises were made to keep in touch, that the chances of ever meeting again were slim at best. Still we exchanged addresses and shook hands reluctant to be separated from the bonding brotherhood forged by heat of danger and tempered in the waters of compassion for one another.
We may have served at the pleasure of the President but not the popular vote of the people and yet we did serve. It was service out of loyalty and love of country even though many thought the cause unjust; we suffered and perished in an alien land for strange people.

E-mail: henry57us@yahoo.com 		I was surprised to receive a post card in the mail telling about the Vietnam EOD veterans group. I consider my time in EOD as the best. After graduating from Indian Head I was sent to the 145th Ord Det in Pa then to Vietnam in 68 to the 191th Ord Det in Camrahn. Did not see very many entries for my time frame. Wpould like to hear from those that served from 67-69. Anyone remember MSG John Merriam?
