Vietnam – Know your flow of history

No big news that yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the fall of Saigon.


If you move the clock back another 30 years and a few days, it is also the
60th anniversary of American and Soviet forces meeting up at the Elbe River at Torgau.



Back to our 30 year wedge on the timeline, we are again at war. Different people, different equipment, different reasons.



Where will our children or grandchildren serve in 30 short years, 2035? One thing I know, the price is the same for each time.



We need to make sure we earn it.
