I'm reminded of Huey sitting in with a group of guys at the VA, getting the demons out.

A grunt sitting across from Dave told a similar version of being one of the last into the TAC-E ship, and how after all the years, he remembered a gator on the nose -

And Dave showed him a Gator patch on his upper chest,
and said something to the effect "like this ?"
And the leg saw it and nose- dived in a faint to the floor.
Baby Huey was one of his guardian angels that day so many
years before--

sort of like the phone call out of the blue at the VFW fest in
East Hampton, RGK !

Sweet.
