A lot of them were great friends and just flat out good folks. I'm sure your dad met many in Europe while going through his bad times.<br /><br />Like most of my buddies, I'm uncomfortable being thanked for just doing our job at the time. However, it is appreciated and a refreshing change.Bill Cokernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-82841537571237848092015-02-08T20:40:56.057-05:002015-02-08T20:40:56.057-05:00http://phys.org/news/2014-07-vietnam-cat-pets-peri...http://phys.org/news/2014-07-vietnam-cat-pets-peril.html<br /><br />Don't mean to imply anything other than I can use google.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-41043547766196649762015-02-08T20:33:02.589-05:002015-02-08T20:33:02.589-05:00Bill, I was with Dat today and gave him a choice. ...Bill, I was with Dat today and gave him a choice. He could eat a Banh Mi from Wegmans or try the new noodle broth bowls at Panera, which taste a little like Pho. He went with the noodle broth bowl, an apple and water. No pastries. Most of the Vietnamese i know eat very healthy and actually don't like sweets unless it is fruit. <br /><br />I did not realize you are a Vietnam Vet. Thank you for your service to your country. I know the Vietnamese families I know really appreciated the Americans. In fact, America was good enough to give Dat's family a home.

Seems to me if you are hungry enough you'll eat most anything. Being Vietnamese has nothing to do with it. I didn't have a fun time there in the 60's but their food is still good. They also are much healthier than us fat Americans. I was serious when I said the only reason we don't eat dogs and cats is they are cute. Many people would not eat veal if they saw the source or steak if they raised the cow and saw it every day. Food is food and basically anything lower than us on the food chain is food.Bill Cokernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-64680983617012152092015-02-08T19:44:18.531-05:002015-02-08T19:44:18.531-05:00Speaking of cats.I spent 13 months in South Vietna...Speaking of cats.I spent 13 months in South Vietnam and never saw one cat.I did however saw hundreds of dogs.I ask every Viet Nam vet I run into if they saw any cats and I usually get a blank stare and an eye roll.I am not offering any opinions here just reporting what I saw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-29678596893522224432015-02-08T17:00:52.744-05:002015-02-08T17:00:52.744-05:00The Vietnamese coffee with the condensed milk is p...The Vietnamese coffee with the condensed milk is pretty nice too.

She has blocked entire countries, entire groups and now Wegmans. The Internet is ubiquitous, and with an abundance of smart phones, it is virtually impossible to block someone without blocking everyone.<br /><br />I thought the whole point of a blog is to have your voice and message heard. Because Mezzacappa, an adjudicated liar, distorts the truth, she tried to limit readers to those who agree with her. She is now calling herself a hero, too.

Bernie tickets to HCMC are relatively cheap, there you can get an authentic Banh Mi for 10,000 vietnamese dongs and occasionally the tainted pate will give you a colon cleanse that people in California would pay big bucks for.<br /><br />It really comes down to the quality of the baguette, if that can be secured then your in business. I presume you've been to the Vietnamese place on Union BLVD, seems to be one of the better ones in our region. <br /><br />In Vietnam they wrap the Banh Mi in little bits of old newspaper and secure it with a rubber band, used to get one every morning when I was living there as a sex tourist. <br />Norco Twinknoreply@blogger.com
