It was a windy day to be working with roofing panels, climbing ladders, and being on the roof. I saw on our weather station that winds reached 31 mph.
It already does and is going to look so much better. The crew--two men--think they will finish tomorrow.
We had a social event planned for this evening before we knew for sure when the roofing project would start.
We invited 12 friends to come to view a 49-minute DVD video entitled "Return to Dak To". This film is a documentary about five of Glen's friends and fellow veterans who returned to Dak To Vietnam in 2004. It has taken ten years for the author and producer to put together and finish. Chris Upham hopes to sell this to a television network such as the Military Channel, History Channel, National Geographic.
It is an emotional and personal account of the 45-day siege and the the lifelong impact this event triggered. These five veterans are representative of all the soldiers that endured this siege/battle/attack.
It is our wish that these 12 friends/family understand a little better what happened in 1969 and the impact on Glen and the other 500 combat engineers.
