Vietnam Stories

This PDF is a collection of stories from Vietnam I wrote in the months around what was called the Peace With Honor treaty. The last American GIs and POWs were gone by March 30, 1973. Two years later the war ended with the North Vietnamese victory. The type is small but should respond to a blowup of 400 percent or so. This all happened fifty years ago.
