Actually Frank was our St Rep along with Frank Madla St Senator; Dorly worked with Helen, realtor wife. Called S Side Mafia we’d party at neighbor Dr’s pool & wanted $ & votes . Swapped war stories & he said I think it was me leading S Viet Marines that day. Got elected to congress, got terminal illness and was gone. VA Clinic’s named after. Madla died in Xmas candle fire disaster with little girl and Hellen we see working to rescue S San School dist from graft and politics. 24 July ’66 was submitted as Silver Star but downgraded in Saigon as DFC for Heroism. Not too much shade difference but other 4 were just Extraordinary Achievement. Think was 40 meters away and 50′ below tree level got it passed finally. I had 8 X 50’s and other ship 4X 20s and we’d bang off few as we could until Winchester ( tha’s all folks code) and finally all across the 50 meter wide open on way to the beach with Cruiser covering then Big guns of no use troops in contact. Interesting day as real msn was dive bombing at N VN coastal choke pt Dong Hoi and had schitt shot out at us by 37MM first until stores expended. Just on way home & volunteered when call came on Guard Freq. Got an 1 Corp HQ msg thanks. Medal came well over a year Nov ’67 and awarded all by myself( usually that much calls for parade ) down in Command Post Shaw AFB SC with other 4 DFC’s, Purple Heart and Commendation Medal plus final 13 Air medals . Took about as long as rescue just lots safer. 8

Must recall ’68 same Chicago and I never heard “conservative/ Republican thugs”? I was back home training combat crews and wondered what the hell I was fighting for other side the world. I hang for Abe’s Better angels of out nature and listen for a bell’s ring. I give up means I quit! Shortest? Uncle.
When they’re in near constant protest? French teens and young adults tear up the cobblestones for barricades, turn over DKW’s and light tires. Now some recent imports fire machine guns into concert goers same idea advanced technique they learned some of from whole bunches Frenchmen over centuries. Lesson’s can’t keep a good mob down in its time. 8
