Then during the VN war, we were stationed in the Far East, the whole family, and we were there for four years 1962-1966 and the men flew missions to VN from Far East bases. It was so strange to me as a child, I remember him wearing unusual flight suits to fly combat, no name or rank, and he carried a gun on a belt on his waist. I was taken aback, especially when he told me what the gun was for, and why there was no identifying information on his flight suit.
He flew in WWII as well, in a bucket of an airplane, doing the Burma Hump.
