Amazing! 2 tours? I thought it was a stretch to call him a "War Hero" after four months. I didn't realize a tour of duty was only 2 months! My uncle did 3 tours (although they weren't 18 months long each. I think his 3 tours lasted a total of 27 months. I'd ask him but he died as a result of agent orange related diabetes. For the past 5 years he would go in and have a little bit more of each leg cut off until there was no more to cut.....thus he died. Funny thing is, my uncle wouldn't talk about Vietnam. He always told us he loved his country and did his duty. As it turns out, not only did he do his duty but he gave his life and never complained once. I'm not sure he was a hero but he sure was one heck of a Man in my eyes.
