February 14 marks an amazing milestone for me this year. On Valentine's Day 40 years ago a scared twenty-year-old GI looked out the right side of a Military Airlift Command chartered Eastern Airlines stretch DC-8, with two hundred or so other young men, and saw his first glimpse of the Republic of Vietnam from 30,000 feet!
As we landed at Tan Son Nhut Air Base a little while later, little did I know what a remarkable adventure the Lord had in store for me over the rest of my life. The friendships I would make, and those that would be rekindled. The careers and hobbies I would pursue. And the family that would be the Darraghs!
It has, indeed, been extraordinary!
And the adventure continues!
