Before Vegas Jill and I overnighted in Black Hawk, Colorado, gratis of Gary Pino we enjoyed El Presedente Suite, Fine Dining, and Exceptional Company.
Gary
Pino started this reunion years back without knowing. His
Viet Nam pictures inspired others from his team to send even more
pictures which stirred the emotions and a search was put out for more of
the team. Las Vegas came about and a CCT Gathering was planned.
The guys from the 69/71 time frame decided 40+ years was too long
and it was about time to share some war stories.
The war stories were a flying and
the shortest man (not Roger James), Davy Gfeller , was voted the "Man
to have your back!" There is no medal for this, but it's the
highest honor you can earn and Davy came out of Viet Nam with this
distinction and a Purple Heart. Ask him to show you his wound!
From the Jungles of Viet Nam to the War on Terrorism, We're ONE Team; Combat Control Team
