One night during the slog through the DMZ, two of us with TACP made a birthday cake for Capt. Dewey, one of the air officers. We used a pound cake and melted a crispy chocolate disk for frosting. He didn't make it to the reunion in Detroit, but Capt. Greeley, our other air officer called him and we were able to talk briefly about the night he was presented with the cake.

Great memory. I celebrated my 19th birthday at MCRD San Diego. Had I not been wounded, I would have celebrated my 20th birthday in Vietnam.
