Unfortunately, I am not acquainted with a veteran. I know this can be a hard subject, but if anyone would be able to assist me, I would be very grateful. The assignment is due the 11th, so I would need a reply before then, I am sorry this is of late notice, but I tried a different site and no one has replied. You do not have to be posted in Viet Nam to help me, but if you were a NON-POSTED veteran, you will have to write me for the seperate questions.
