Subject: China Beach...

Gents:

My niece, Lori, was an Army medic several years ago. She is now a civilian nurse. Lori and her husband just got back from a tour in Vietnam. Neither were old enough to have served their, but just wanted to go.

I just received a package in the mail from Lori. Inside was a small plastic container with a note. Lori said she knew I served at Da Nang, and while there on 1-23-2009, she scooped up a tube of China Beach sand along the Da Nang beach. Ironically...42 years to the day that my tentmate, J.B. Jones, was kia at Da Nang.

I will never return to Da Nang ... but I will keep this small token safe with my memories.
