I’ve been fascinated by your father’s willingness to attend John Paul Vann’s funeral. Reading that account led me to read his memoir, and seeking more understanding of the untenable position he was put in at that time.

John Vann was one of his best friends, almost a brother. When I asked him why he loved “Butch Cassidy…” so much he said it reminded him of his time with Vann in Vietnam.
