I extend my sympathy and my empathy to Ann Holland, whose husband was lost in the fight at Lima Site 85 in 1968 (“Vietnam: The war of waiting,” Nov. 7, The Columbian).

I was stationed with the 56th Air Commando Wing at Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, and shuffled between that secret base to 7th/13th Air Force Headquarter at Udorn, Thailand.

Thank you for reading The Columbian.
