Yo!

I sit often latley not trying to remember all - just remembering what I do recall - and I often think of
when was the precise moment I knew I was a Wolfhound ( A question presented to me by an active duty Wolfhound who is former Batallion Commander and now a Basic Training Brigade Commander):
Instead of myself today thoughts are on a day in April 1967 when we had captured some VC prisoners. As we held them captive and re-grouping the new guys were all a gaze - in the bushes one man held his weapon (I think it was empty) on 2 VC in a Mexican stand-off- the squad leader walked upon them and blew the 2 VC away - I stared into the eyes of the new guys and said to them "This is not a Hollywood movie - this is for real!

Take care
Easy!!!!!
A 1/27 1967

knowing when

Easy to be honest I do know if it was after the bobo or when I got hit. I know Risky told me years later, that he thought of us as the new guys. But just before he left he said we came back from a fight on the border, and he was there to greet us. He realized we were the new guys no longer. He said we came off the choppers like it was no big deal. He said we actually had a damn swagger, if you can believe that
