Leo Green
SN 3rd Division 06/1971 to 08/1973

Leo was one of my best friends in Viet Nam and after Nam. There were about 5 of us guys on the ship that hung close together. Sharing our supplies, our resources, covering each others backs, and helped each other return to the ship after liberty.

Leo and I were also room mates after we returned from Viet Nam and we did some exciting cross country traveling together. It was so great being with old war buddies again after 30 years!!

Nothing can make you closer to another person than sharing combat and liberty-call with him.
