Subject: 49th Anny of the TET 1968 Battle (30/31 Jan 68)

To all my Brother Vietnam SP Defenders,

Next week on 30 (Monday) and 31 (Tuesday) Jan 2017 it will be the 49th Anny of the TET 1968 battle in which some of us were involved in! Like so many of U have said, "it seems just like the other day" as were remember it or maybe try to forget it too!

I first want to say "WELCOME HOME" to all of U and especially a special TK U for doing UR job and defending those bases during the Vietnam War! We set the scale for the future SP/SF Defenders to follow. And from what I can see they are doing an outstanding job too!

We lost many a good AP/SP during the Vietnam War and even today we are still seeing many of our AP/SP Defenders passing away from all those medical problems and yes, even old age!

To me I am sad that the USAF and especially our own career field does not HONOR this time as a time to remember what we all did on those mornings and show the world that the SP Defenders were TOP NOTCH and could handle any situation tossed at them by Charlie (VC/NVA).

So saying that, I want to wish each and everyone of U, my Brother SP Defenders the very best and also the very best in 2017 and beyond? I will be going to a restaurant with some other Defenders on 29 Jan 2017 to sit and have a good meal and time as we talk about our time in country!

I hope that U will get with other SP Defenders and toast those that did not make it back home as well as to those that did? In this small way we shall HONOR all those AP/SP Defenders that we knew those many years ago and in some case still know today via the internet or the VSPA BB!
