Bruce and I served in Vietnam together with the First Air Cavalry Division. We later served together at Ft Riley Kansas where we and our wives lived in Junction City. The 4 of us remained friends for many years and enjoyed some fun times together. Bruce's zany sense of humor always kept us laughing.
