Luciano Martinez: 'It will be a special time for us. It was 55 years ago that we first met, but when we get together it is like those years do not exist.'
Etta Sauers of North Huntingdon, Pa, visits the grave of her husband Roy W. Sauer, a Navy veteran, at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies in Cecil Township, Pa, on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2020. -- “War” sung by Edwin Starr, 1970
When I arrived in Vietnam, I was assigned to serve at the United States Army, Vietnam Headquarters in Long Binh. Walking into my barracks, which we called a “hootch”, the first person to greet me was Charles “Chas” Simone from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is the first Italian-American I had ever met. After a few days we became best buddies forever. That’s the way it was in Vietnam.
Since that time, we have had a lot of fun during 18 reunions in various locales around the U.S. Some of these include Las Vegas, Nevada; San Diego, California; Key West, Florida; Wildwood, New Jersey; and New Orleans, Louisiana. In 2007, four of us returned to Vietnam on a real “tour” of the country. We timed it for Veterans Day 2007, because it signified forty years since we had first been in-country. We traveled from Hanoi in the north, to Ho Chi Minh City in the south. Needless to say, the trip brought back many repressed memories, but it was cathartic, as well.
