Stan, this is Dale Brown - when I was sent to Vietnam you were there at Cam Ranh Bay and you welcomed me and became a good friend that I needed badly! You took me under your wing and taught me how to survive. You never let me down. You and another couple of GIs decided to sneak into Cam Ranh Village to a bar one night but you knew it wasnt safe for a newby and made me stay at our little post, always protective. A year later I was the old timer and stationed there once again. I took 3 newbies into the same bar a couple of times, but one night we were captured by the Viet Cong and marched to the jungle! A village elder ran out and argued with them fiercely and he won our freedom! Years later I asked a Vietnamese engineer formerly with their intelligence service "What would have happened to us if that pappa san hadnt come out and saved us - a POW camp?" He said because of our low rank we were worthless to them and would have been shot to death in a minute or 2! So Stan, we were both so close to dying in our early 20s! I never got to share that story and others with you buddy! God bless you man, rest in peace, and I´ll catch up with you when my time comes! I love you, you are a great guy, and I´m lucky to have known you for the short time we were together!.....Dale Brown (I can be reached at [email protected], or text 281/ 543-8254)
