As much as I detest war, even I know that sometimes its necessary. I dont think Vietnam was necessary, but once we were there, nobody took part in the cheering section any more vigorously than I did. The man in this video, with his moving story, was in the class below me in high school and was the only Air Force jet ace of the Vietnam War. This came on his second tour by his downing a MiG-21 on May 10, another on May 31, two on July 8 and his last on Aug. 28. After completing 339 combat missions totaling more than 800 flying hours, Ritchie returned as one of the most highly decorated pilots of the war, having received the Air Force Cross, four Silver Stars, 10 Distinguished Flying Crosses and 25 Air Medals. Tonight, for the first time, Im giving him a thumbs up that hes deserved so long. I feel sure he didnt miss it. Id withheld it because of my parents dislike for him for a crude question he asked my younger brother when my brother was about 13 years old. He asked if I would f*** with him. Who knew that one day I might consider that a compliment? :) https://youtube/watch?v=QvRcP4go-eg#t=281
