A R&R visit from my brother a "True Grunt," Staff SGT, USMC. A surprise "Carrier Visit" during the Vietnam Conflict, the Bonnie Dick was serving in the Gulf of Tonkin. Bill was serving in country (Vietnam) and decided to spend his R&R time aboard ship. He flew aboard by "Helo." He's still all "Marine Corps," even today. Bill had 3 tours of duty in country. A tough old bird with 22 years in the Corps. He retired from the Marine Corps in 1976. Eleven years before my retirement, and I'm the older guy. Such is life!!
