Why did the congresss make the offical start of the vietnam war and
the V.A. not recognize it starting untill 1965 ? I was TAD to the Yorktown
fron 1961 to late 1962 & spent most of the time in the south china sea,
we offloaded to the upper ramp in the phillipens for 2 months & we had
the tail hook shot off & barrier landed it during the cruise. The Navy gave the Armed forces Expeditonary medaal to my shipmates but gave
mme theNational Defense service medal. Denny Glass 401 Willis AVE.
