Yes. They heard the phone ringing as we came up the walk. I took my first flight ten days later.
Without military orders, I wouldn't have been allowed on the plane. In those days they required that a child be at least three months old before flying.
I was six weeks old when he left for Viet Nam for the first time. As you know, the whole family went on the second tour when I was three. We were evacuated before I turned four which is why he missed seeing Sis's first steps.
