Dear Mom and Dad,
…Some GI’s say this war could have, should have, been won by now. Others are opposed to the war and don’t think we should be here. The majority of the guys aren’t concerned with issues, moral judgments or politics. Most of them are young guys who didn’t want to come here and they just want to get out in one piece. You can’t blame them. There are probably as many for and against the war here as at home…
Don’t worry about me, Love, Cathy

Cathleen Cordova worked for Army Special Services as a club director in Tay Ninh, Di An, Vinh Long, and Can Tho from October 1968-October 1969. Now “older, grayer, and hopefully wiser,” she writes, she is living back in California, where her journey began. She loves her job – she is a 13-year veteran officer assigned to the Investigations Division of the Pleasanton Police Department – and, among her other activities, she is National President of the Women’s Overseas Service League and co-founder of the Circle of Sisters/Circle of Friends, an archival project for civilian women who served and died in Vietnam.
