Wore the VVAW Bar-B-Que shirt and Viet Vet hat. <BR/><BR/>Other than dropping off IVAW Sit Reps at the front desk of the Strip Club on the north end of town, we walked around the pier and the theatre on Pier and Coast Hwy. Shit load of Marines. Many Boots, but many with 1-3 tours. <BR/><BR/>Even met, shook hands with and spoke to a Major with 3 tours who said he wasn't physically wounded but,,,,,, I asked about PTSD?, he said yes. When I asked if he was being taken good care of he didn't say yes or no but kind of shrugged. I got his meaning. Gave him a hug and a Sit Rep.<BR/><BR/> For me this is the best work I've ever done. I'm hooked. I'm going back to talk with my Marines once a month on the two days a month that the eagle takes a shit.<BR/><BR/>Base Tour Troops roll in tomorrow before noon. They were in Utah when I spoke with them earlier this evening. There going to initially camp out in the RV in front of my home. Looks like I'll be cooking Eggs, Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast on Thursday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
