"Do you think the Vietnam veterans have gotten screwed?" Lloyd asked me.

"Fuckin' aye!" I replied.

"Yeah, I think so too," he replied.

Lloyd, a sailor on Yankee Station, now lives in South Africa. When he was on "Kitty Hawk" he watched as the prop of an Orion patrol plane turned a friend's head into a red mist. And there were other things.

When he returned he married his girlfriend. They're still together, although it's been hard, very hard at times.
