Badass Airborne soldiers. I am floored. My older brother was in Vietnam 67 - 68. He was in the Third Infantry, and had his C.I.B.. He tossed his medals after he got out of the Army and wouldn't talk about the war. I didn't know he was there until Mom told me. He was a really big guy, but when Vietnam came on the news on t.v. he would start shaking and turn the channel. When he returned, he was in D.C. and did guard duty at the unknowns tomb.

I would guess the radio you used in the field was the PRC 25. I have a ham radio license, and am fascinated by military surplus radios.

Thanks for your service, as if thanks are enough.
