Goodnight Saigon has been playing in my head these past few weeks...
I first heard the song at the 123 Club at Ft Clayton, where I'd get drunk with the other young guys and then get in fights with them.
When the song came on, a huge mob of soldiers jumped up to the front, threw their arms around each other and belted out the chorus. That always stuck with me (I know, the song is about Marines, not soldiers, in Vietnam, way before our time, but I guess that didn't stop them from strongly identifying with the song). A year later, many of those young men would be taking down Noriega's forces in the invasion...
Every generation gets its turn...
Enjoy the long weekend!
