One particularly cold winter day, as I tried to keep my mind occupied with something besides the ice-sickles forming on my nose hair, I tried to imagine a place with warm breezes and palm trees. When I got back into the
shop, Stony said, “You look positively radiant.” The gas heater blowing into the room was making my frostbitten cheeks tingle with a rosy red glow, and my ears looked like red reflectors in the sun light. We decided then and there to take a ride to Vegas in the spring.
By the middle of May, I and several friends were excitedly gnawing at the bit, waiting for May 22nd to arrive. The ensuing story is a blow by blow account of that trip down old highway 66; from the crazy escapades in Oklahoma and the people we met along the way there, to the bone-chilling sleet of Vail Pass Colorado, on our way back. It was supposed to be two weeks of uncensored fun; it turned into something very different.

Jack was an average 19 yr. old from Middle America; college didn’t offer what he was looking for, marriage was not an option. His choices were limited. The recruiter convinced him the US Air force was what he was looking for. What did he have to lose? ROTC was a cake walk; Basic training sounded like more of the same; gullibility was his strong suit. Basic training was a bitch; Tech school was tough and Vietnam was a wake up call. It was against an enemy with no concern for the rules of engagement. The enemy could be anywhere, any age and either man or woman, with no respect for human life. They could even be beautiful, as Jack would come to realize. Uncle Sam promised to make him a man, but it wasn’t supposed to rip his heart out in the process.
