I am a non-credentialed Vietnam Veteran. I spent the year of May 1969-May 1970 serving my country as a Department of the Army Civilian. My job was that of Secretary to the United States Army, Vietnam G3 Plans and Operations. I lived in Long Binh, RVN. I worked a schedule of 10/7 because the Guys in the bush didn’t ever get a day off. Should things be different in Garrison? Why did I volunteereven women are patriotic and want the privilege of serving their country. I did not do it for a rewardI did it because for the past two hundred years my family has participated in securing and protecting the freedom of all Americans and our country. One early morning, I was walking to work with a Major in the US Army. We were taking a shortcut through a field when we heard incoming. We both fell to the ground and covered our headsas if that would help if our time were up. Shaken, scratched, and bleeding from the earth pitted in our skin from the rocket landing in the field, we cautiously uncovered our heads. Quite calmly, Ron turned to me and said: "I don’t know about you but I’m going back to my hooch and have two martinis and start this day over right." I thought this was an excellent idea and we were only one hour late for work. Do you suppose our experience qualified Ron for a "Purple Heart?" Ron died several months later when it was his turn to serve six months in the bush. He was an honorable man who never got to see his children grow up! When I had time off, I spent most of it at the 24th Evacuation Hospital at Plantation talking and writing letters home for GI’s. It was my privilege! Many of those same soldiers never came home. They are on the Wall. They never had a chance to decide if the war was right or wrong. May God deliver us from all the self-serving john kerrys who have exploited a tragedy for personal and political gain. Sincerely, Sue Price Parris DOD Civilian June 1964-September 2001
