My dad (front) in Vietnam in 1971. Didn’t know this photo existed until I came across it randomly on the internet. He cried when he saw it. Hope this is the right place to post it.
That is pretty amazing. I have a somewhat similar story. I bought my dad a book about submarines for Christmas one year and he’s flipping through and sees a picture of himself standing on the deck of his submarine with a Regulus missile in the early 1960’s. He was shocked. Then, I book him and my mom a B&B for my college graduation and the owner has the commissioning plaque from my dad’s submarine hanging on his wall! My dad was on the commissioning crew in the late 1950’s and this guy was on the decommissioning crew in the mid-1980’s. The B&B owner grabbed that plaque off the wall and shoved it into my fathers arms and said he should have it. Then they drank whisky and talked for hours.

Imagine what would fell like, surviving a rough experience, trying to live with it and suddenly stumbling into a photo of that era. That must be crazy
