| Christmas in VietnamWhat 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.
