Michael forwarded these two pictures....one from his tour in Vietnam, and one from Sgt. M, one of the 359th Transportation Vets' adopted heroes.

Pam:
Here's a contrast (38 years). Myself, I don't see a whole lot of difference. I see mud. I see very far from home...

...On my truck you see 240QM. The 359th moved under the 27th Trans Bn after I left. I find these pictures astonishingly similar. My picture was taken on top of Mang Yang Pass in the heart of ambush alley (QL19), summer 1968. [Sgt. M]'s was taken a couple of days ago.

And there are so many other things that never seem to change - long hours, not enough pay, great risk, and consistently going above and beyond in defending freedom for others. Then, as now, we are so blessed to have such Heroes in our midst.
