Sgt Stan Drayton had us put on put on  workout suits that Sunday morning.

We got up at 5:30 a.m. normally, so we should have been sleeping in.

The men next to the oil drum are our Officers. Drayton, an eloquent speaker

with powerful presence had us fraternize while he shared his story.

Drayton explained principal and philosophy behind Martial Arts.

A avid reader of Black Belt Magazine which was historical and  philosophical more

than technical at the time.

return to Korea.

The Vietcong, our enemy was tunneling under our feet in what history writes

as The Tet Offensive a major military offensive.
