Vietnam War-F Troop 8th Cavalry Blue Ghost 1970

From Cary Seibel, Feb 9, 2011

     Hi, Yesterday My Dad was playing around online land came across your video, "Vietnam F Troop 
8th Cavalry Blue Ghost 1970" To his utter amazement, there he was in your video. His name is 
Bob (Robert) Brokenshire. He was the guy walking toward the camera with a towel on his waist. 
I don't hear much from him about Vietnam, so when he called and told me to check out the video,
I was pretty surprised.Thank you so much for posting it. My brothers and sisters think it is pretty 
amazing to see it. Hope you are well and again thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day. Cary Seibel.
