"Hot damn! I'm off to the Nam." (Photo from a 1968 Fort Bragg Army yearbook)

"Hot damn!  I'm off to the Nam."  And so Terry Donelly was successfully redirected. Six months ago he had only one desire, to play the clarinet.   Life was more serious now.  Holding something as ridiculous as an ebony whistle to his lips, became and would remain,  unfathomable.

 Company A, Ninth Battalion Second Brigade March 29, 1968.
