While on duty in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1972, getting mail was very difficult at times. Since we were always on the move, we missed our mail drop offs many times. At times I don’t think the government even knew where we were. The following author is not known, but I am sure this happened to all the forces in Viet Nam at one time or another.

” And now the news from the Middle East: The South Vietnamese today surrendered to the American Forces, the American Forces surrendered to the North Vietnamese, the North Vietnamese surrendered to the French Canadians and Canadians beat the Bruins four to two. The City of Olongopo in the Philippines today was hit by the worst disaster in the cities history, it was overrun by thousands of virgin women. The U.S. Naval Forces off the coast of Vietnam were hit with a surprise attack today, they received their mail.”
