Geez I remember those news casts. Caskets on runways. Young male friends and brothers fearing the draft. Father went to Nam. Mother afraid when she did not get a letter or rare call. War is insane.

My family is from Waterloo, IA, the same town the boys in "Saving Private Ryan" were from. I lost a 22 year old uncle in the Tet offense, he was engaged to be married. Vietnam was in our living rooms, in our lives, and we were kids. Then came 1968, the ultimate year of turmoil.
