The Beautiful Volcanic Mountain, Mt. Rainier, in the Extreme N/W corner of the State of Washington!


My Viet Nam War Brother, Charl Matteson shared this pic with me. It is of Mt. Rainier in the state of Washington. We served from 1965-1967 with the 4th Infantry Division in Ft. Lewis, Washington We trained together for 9 months before we were shipped to Viet Nam aboard a huge ship on a voyage that took 23 days to arrive off the South China Sea Coast near Tuy Hoa, RVN. Mt. Rainier was snow covered  year round. We could always see in it the distant background every day as we trained @ Lewis! We were known by our Viet Nam War after us as “The Boat People”. It was one of my worse regrets that I never once visited her on a week-end pass! Mouse Click on the image to view it a larger frame!
