  I still have my original “P-38” from 1971. &nbsp;Since I didn’t smoke, I traded my Camel cigarettes for the small bottles of tobasco sauce. &nbsp;Allowed you to eat anything.<br>Remember the rice balls withe pieces of dried fish wrapped in banana leaves? &nbsp;You could eat on the run until you had time for a heated can of “sea rats” - C rations.

  I still have my &nbsp;P38 also.you forgot to the Hershey bar know as john Waney bar came can crackers on top. Plus we served &nbsp;off the jungle &nbsp;when rations ran out. Years later ran in my Capt and his Vietnamese wife. She still cooks all those foods mentioned. &nbsp; Wow what memory&apos;s &nbsp;. I thank the &nbsp; &nbsp;lord that all battles I was in ,missions I come home alive. Plus my platon we prayed before we left our base came. I was wounded many times and sent back in combat. &nbsp;Wow &nbsp;those &nbsp;that went after 12 months &nbsp;were lucky. I didn&apos;t my platoon we didn&apos;t get come for 7 years.

  LOVED ham and mothas. Only meal that tasted like real food, cold or warm.<br><br>Contemplating my last meal - bacon, eggs, pancakes, grape kool-ade at Da Nang air base end of July1969 after two tours …. And BAM!!! Another fkin’ ad. <br>I’d do another two years on ham and mothas to go ten minutes without and

  SOS. And we always have canned peaches or fruit cocktail for dessert. One of my favorite meals.

  I Swear the Fruit Cake could stop a bullet &amp; block blast from explosives !!! I saw a Duce &amp; a half drive over one a guy in my Squad threw on the road, it LOOK the very same as it did before the Tank ran over it, I had over been in Country for 3 weeks &amp; that impressed me more than anything.
