It has been almost 40 years since I left Vietnam (8/28/1969) and I usually don't have what some would consider "flashbacks" very often any more
but the other night (the 4th) I lay in bed, listenig to Taps being played over the loud speaker. Just after it ended, some locals just off base fired off some
firecrackers of some sort. A few minutes later, a couple of B1B's took off, then more firecrackers went off.
I would have sworn there for a minute or two that I was back in country. It was really strange and somewhat unsettling. I had an urge to jump out of bed and run for the bunkers.
I soon came back to "normal" and all was well once more.
