IA Born Report post Posted November 13, 2023 I've told the story of my dad and his company (C/1/503/173d Airborne) as part of Task Force Black and their battle on Nov 11, 1967. I've shared his "famous" picture that was taken during his first tour and went AP/UPI world wide. Here are a few other photos from his 18 months in Vietnam. He brought his war home with him for all of us to fight, but he was my hero. Veteran's Day always meant something much different and deeper in our house. I miss him every day of the 19 years he's been gone. Thanks to everyone else for your service.
