That was a great story Lyle. Your dad sounds like he was a hell of a guy, and I'm thankful that you shared this part of his life. Hooah!

We have a few things in common. My step-dad was a Vietnam vet from a helicopter unit ( 1st Air Cav ) and I was in a band. In fact, my brother, his biological son, played bass in my band.

Thanks for sharing about your dad's experience in Vietnam. Only met your dad once but in that brief time, I was so inspired by his positive attitude in the midst of great challenges. Thanks for keeping him alive by sharing about him.

Being a "distant" relative, I had no idea about your Dad's heroism. What an amazing man he was. I wish I had known this years ago. Beautifully written.
