Ben,
I served in Vietnam in 70 - 71 with the 1st of the 5th Armored Division,
177 Armor, in Quang Tri which is just south of the DMZ. Air conditioning? Not
back in those days. Terrible heat in the warm months and miserable cold
and wet during the monsoon season.

Rummy;
If you don't mind saying, what years did you ride in the tank? I'm also
curious about the temperature inside them in the summer or hot climates?
A/C? In any event, thanks for your service. (Same to you Bob.) Bob, were
you an aircrew member? What types?
