Christmas in Vietnam

What was your recollections of Christmas in Vietnam? I recall they told us of a holiday cease fire but stay alert which is something I never had to be reminded of. My family sent me a small decorated tree in a box we put up in the hoouch. A bunch of us stayed up after work Christmas 1970 morning and tried to be happy.

Dec 24, 1968 = Bob Hope, Wes Brown, Joie Heatherton, Anne Margaret, Anita Bryant singing God Bless America, sharing the night with my K9 parner - great memories.

1969 was at the Minh Thanh rubber plantation special forces base waiting to go out next day [into cambodia] with about 200 CIDG's the green hats had trained

we watched the bob hope show on AFVN tv [i told the guys about since had seen it 3 days before at lai khe,] they finally believed me about half way thru show when they ran tape of various earlier shows and there was the big red one at lai khe
