 0/0/0000 Almost hard to believe so much time has passed, except my body aches and pains today confirm my "Senior Citizen" age. I'm reminded of An Loc often, but especially this time of year. A snapshot of this time in 0000 was one of the heaviest Arclight strikes in the entire war. Flight after Flight of 0 B-00's high in the sky with us down low staying clear of the "on-Guard" warnings until the big splash was over. I'm haunted by the Special Forces Advisor who was imbedded with the S. Vietnamese in An Loc. When an unknown radio query asked what the Advisor needed, the unknown soldier replied: "Dry Socks". I wonder if he ever made it out to wear dry socks again when it looked so bleak. Wonder if he ever returned to the "World" to have a normal life and pursue a career after his Military Service in the Battle of An Loc? Wonder if the man with that voice is still alive today?
