Door Gunner, Kratchi Province, Cambodia

Just out of Cambodia, investigating a door gunner loss in Kratchie Province, Snoul district, Kingdom of Cambodia...
A little kindness and a cold "Coca Cola" goes a long way. In addition to the vest with a full wrap chest plate, we also got his eyeglasses...

Cool huh?

Thumbs up

I love history. It provides us with reminders, sometimes haunting, of days and friends gone by. Holding that vest would give me chills.

Y'all do great work bringing our people home. Thank you.
