A Year in a Day

<p>This isn't in my diary but my best kept secret from Vietnam is me and my fiancée Jeannie coordinated with each other with a three-inch reel to reel tape recorder. When I would send her a tape I would put some opium-soaked joints in the tape container and when I got home I had a hundred joints to get me and my friend back home high.</p><p>When I got home and got off the plane at Greater Cincinnati airport I was picked up by my stepfather mother and Jeannie. The first thing I noticed was that my mother had aged ten years. The worst part about coming home was Coming Home.</p><p>The only thing I regret from the war was I turned down the Bronze Star medal for the Army Commendation Medal. My agent Orange showed up on Jan 27 2011 had triple bypass and four stents. I have ischemic heart disease.</p><p> </p>
