The Special Forces guys at Bien Hoa had pretty good coffee also. They put
on a fine breakfast in that club of theirs.


That was the club over on the 101st base right? Let me think, just
north of Bein Hoa City right over the hill from the long runway? Had
a 105 howitzer fire base attached to it?

We spent a night there after we were released from the air base - good
time if it was the same place.

They had a house band from the Philippines that did cover tunes - damn
they were good.

The Navy EM club at Cam Rahn Bay over by where the Swifts docked was a
great place too. Those Swifties knew how to party I'll tell you what.

Oh - 0h - I feel some war stories coming on.

Better quite while I'm ahead. :)

I'm not a coffee aficionado. I've enjoyed any of the bolder Starbucks
varieties, but I'd never go pay $20 a pound or more for coffee.

I actually quite coffee quite a number of years ago. Unless you
consider a Coffee Coolata or coffee ice cream "coffee".

I bet a lot of your war stories would be interesting.
If Canada had been in that war...I would have been the right age.
I turned 18 in 1967...just before things turned to rat****.

To quote Dickens:

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times".

And he was right. There were times one cried for happiness, and times one
just cried.
