Episode description

In today’s episode, I want to share a memory of an event I experienced in Vietnam — a dinner with some newly made friends.

I was working in the Fire Direction Control Center on a remote mountain firebase in Vietnam. We shared the hill with some American infantry units and even a South Vietnamese artillery unit.

The Visitor

One day, a Vietnamese soldier stepped into our bunker. I don’t remember that ever happening before, but I tried to be friendly and find out what he wanted.

His English wasn’t that great, but then my Vietnamese was non-existent.

Somehow, we did manage to communicate.
