During 1968 and 1969 the tank named “Da Judge” was my primary tank. When I entered country A24 had been returned to the states destroyed. I was due to rotate home in early August but alas, on July 28, 1969 I sent A24 back to the states.

Combat – Non-combat
Regarding the Nov. 6th Newsletter topic: Combat or Non-Combat.
I also was disappointed that I did not see any action in Viet Nam during my 4 years ('67-71). After all, that was the reason I took a leave of absence from college AND also had to have my mother sign a waiver for me to enlist. I was a sole surviving son, my dad having died from illness contracted as a result of WWII action in N. Africa and Italy.

Jim,
You are 100 % correct about the book "Brute" General Krulak was a Marine's Marine. I highly rec ommend the book to all Marines. Also I have a {Much used} copy of "Message to Garcia." It is a thin paperback with a great message. I have loaned it to people I worked with in the past who had a "Sorry or non-existent work ethic." Sometimes it actually worked!
