I hauled another load of scrap to town on my M35 2 1/2 ton and then stopped at the napa store to pick up some parts.
As I was wrestling with the seat belt a guy came out of the store and stood by my door and asked about the year of the truck. When I said it was a Vietnam era rig we shared some stories about being 1A before the lottery draft came into effect. I asked him if he made it up to see the moving Vietnam memorial wall.
At that point he said he couldn't do it and kind of hunched up like he was going to vomit and started to bawl and headed for his Jeep and drove off.
His overwhelming pain has haunted me all day
