    The United States and Vietnam

    As you can see by my signature I am also a Vietnam vet. I will never forget the story of a Vietnamese pilot who landed his 0-1 Bird Dog aircraft on the deck of a carrier which had his family with him. We were the best that America had.

Some boros are missing, like Queens and Manhattan, as well as the Citywide site. I hope that things will return to sense of normalcy soon.
