Craigslist m4w Letter, from a Vietnam Vet to a Woman He Met Briefly in the Rain 45 Years Ago
All of the below is this guy's posting. I'm not putting it in the gray box just because that makes it harder to read. Update: We might be a little closer to making this Missed Connection happen -- a witness to the events just checked in in the comments.I was in the seat next to them as they talked. I remember it well... Posted by: Brian WilliamsI feel romance is just a couple of email forwards away!!!
I met you in the rain on the last day of 1972, the same day I resolved to kill myself.
One week prior, at the behest of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, I'd flown four B-52 sorties over Hanoi. I dropped forty-eight bombs. How many homes I destroyed, how many lives I ended, I'll never know. But in the eyes of my superiors, I had served my country honorably, and I was thusly discharged with such distinction. And so on the morning of that New Year's Eve, I found myself in a barren studio apartment on Beacon and Hereford with a fifth of Tennessee rye and the pang of shame permeating the recesses of my soul. When the bottle was empty, I made for the door and vowed, upon returning, that I would retrieve the Smith & Wesson Model 15 from the closet and give myself the discharge I deserved. I walked for hours. I looped around the Fenway before snaking back past Symphony Hall and up to Trinity Church. Then I roamed through the Common, scaled the hill with its golden dome, and meandered into that charming labyrinth divided by Hanover Street. By the time I reached the waterfront, a charcoal sky had opened and a drizzle became a shower. That shower soon gave way to a deluge. While the other pedestrians darted for awnings and lobbies, I trudged into the rain. I suppose I thought, or rather hoped, that it might wash away the patina of guilt that had coagulated around my heart. It didn't, of course, so I started back to the apartment. And then I saw you. You'd taken shelter under the balcony of the Old State House. You were wearing a teal ball gown, which appeared to me both regal and ridiculous. Your brown hair was matted to the right side of your face, and a galaxy of freckles dusted your shoulders. I'd never seen anything so beautiful. When I joined you under the balcony, you looked at me with your big green eyes, and I could tell that you'd been crying. I asked if you were okay. You said you'd been better. I asked if you'd like to have a cup of coffee. You said only if I would join you. Before I could smile, you snatched my hand and led me on a dash through Downtown Crossing and into Neisner's. We sat at the counter of that five and dime and talked like old friends. We laughed as easily as we lamented, and you confessed over pecan pie that you were engaged to a man you didn't love, a banker from some line of Boston nobility. A Cabot, or maybe a Chaffee. Either way, his parents were hosting a soirée to ring in the New Year, hence the dress. For my part, I shared more of myself than I could have imagined possible at that time. I didn't mention Vietnam, but I got the sense that you could see there was a war waging inside me. Still, your eyes offered no pity, and I loved you for it. After an hour or so, I excused myself to use the restroom. I remember consulting my reflection in the mirror. Wondering if I should kiss you, if I should tell you what I'd done from the cockpit of that bomber a week before, if I should return to the Smith & Wesson that waited for me. I decided, ultimately, that I was unworthy of the resuscitation this stranger in the teal ball gown had given me, and to turn my back on such sweet serendipity would be the real disgrace. On the way back to the counter, my heart thumped in my chest like an angry judge's gavel, and a future -- our future -- flickered in my mind. But when I reached the stools, you were gone. No phone number. No note. Nothing. As strangely as our union had begun, so too had it ended. I was devastated. I went back to Neisner's every day for a year, but I never saw you again. Ironically, the torture of your abandonment seemed to swallow my self-loathing, and the prospect of suicide was suddenly less appealing than the prospect of discovering what had happened in that restaurant. The truth is I never really stopped wondering. I'm an old man now, and only recently did I recount this story to someone for the first time, a friend from the VFW. He suggested I look for you on Facebook. I told him I didn't know anything about Facebook, and all I knew about you was your first name and that you had lived in Boston once. And even if by some miracle I happened upon your profile, I'm not sure I would recognize you. Time is cruel that way. This same friend has a particularly sentimental daughter. She's the one who led me here to Craigslist and these Missed Connections. But as I cast this virtual coin into the wishing well of the cosmos, it occurs to me, after a million what-ifs and a lifetime of lost sleep, that our connection wasn't missed at all. You see, in these intervening forty-two years I've lived a good life. I've loved a good woman. I've raised a good man. I've seen the world. And I've forgiven myself. And you were the source of all of it. You breathed your spirit into my lungs one rainy afternoon, and you can't possibly imagine my gratitude. I have hard days, too. My wife passed four years ago. My son, the year after. I cry a lot. Sometimes from the loneliness, sometimes I don't know why. Sometimes I can still smell the smoke over Hanoi. And then, a few dozen times a year, I'll receive a gift. The sky will glower, and the clouds will hide the sun, and the rain will begin to fall. And I'll remember. So wherever you've been, wherever you are, and wherever you're going, know this: you're with me still.Comments

You know, I gotta be honest. This may be completely fake, but I don't care. Sometimes, I just need a sweet story in my life. Something uplifting, with hope, instead of the muck and mire we seem to slog through every day.

Sorry, same here. Sounds like Haven Monaghan is taking a creative writing class (look at the use of adjectives and metaphors: "a charcoal sky?" "a patina of guilt?" please.)
Besides which, on checking, B-52s operated in Vietnam at 19,000-30,000 feet. Chances of "smelling the smoke over Hanoi?" I'm guessing: zero.

I'm just amazed that the Vietnam War was 45-50 years ago. It does not seem so. I remember standing around during lunch period senior year of high school, lots of boys held transistor radios to their ears, waiting to see what number they were in the draft.

It is well written - perhaps too well for what its. I am not saying a former B-52 pilot couldn't be a good writer, too, but, let's just say I am skeptical.
The details seem a bit sketchy - not impossible, but implausible.

If WWII vets are the Greatest Generation, Vietnam Vets are the Greatest Cohort of a Generation. Other Vets served with the encouragement of their fellow citizens and even with the knowledge that not to serve would be thought cowardice. Vietnam Vets served despite the derision of their peers. They served as honorably as any had before them and with enough resolve and sacrifice as to give pause to the communist forces of the day.
I salute you.

Don't know about zoomies or buff drivers but that was a common occurrence among grunts; Monday in the jungle getting shot at, Tuesday rotated back to the world, Wednesday walk around getting papers signed and stuff turned in, Thursday discharged and given final travel voucher/flight pass, Friday back in location of induction.

A love letter, Ace?
here's an example of a real love letter by a man in WWII:
"Today was the most wonderful day of all because the picture finally came. It's a swell shot -- even though no picture can do you justice as I tell everybody who sees it. he responded to her on. You'll never know how proud I was to show it to all the fellows. Everybody raved -- wondered how I happened to rate! (I do too)."
Do you know who wrote that?

A few years back we had a guy here who made up a somewhat similar story to this one. I don't remember the details, and he dropped it in the comments section, then proceeded to get snippy with people who questions its reality.
Eventually he admitted it was fake, and that he was "practicing" his prose style on us, wanted to get feedback on how real/engaging it was.

-----------I dunno. My best friend, the girl I was banging but not real thrilled with and I were hitchhiking back from Tucson on spring break. This beautiful little flower child, who called herself Jasmine, was driving back to Montana and picked us up. Going over Raton Pass in a blizzard (they closed the road after we got started up the hill) we started getting stuck. My buddy was driving, I was out in the ice and snow pushing the car to try and get any kind of traction. After pushing for 15 minutes, I would get in the car to warm up. I did this about three or four times, and we finally got going again. I was froze to the bone, and lay down in the back of the station wagon. Jasmine got in the back with me, took my hands which felt like ice cubes and put them up under her shirt on her breasts to warm them up. My shack up was not real thrilled. We eventually got back to Denver and she dropped us off. We she pulled away, I watched her leave, wishing that I was leaving with her. I still think about her from time to time and that was over 40 years ago.

Three silver rings on slim hands waiting
Flash bright in candlelight through Sunday's early morn
We found a room that rainy morning
She took my hand through winding roads and led me home
Some red French wine when later waking
In her warm hideaway, she smiled and combed her hair
She laughed each time I asked her name
Made promises to meet again
But her friends down at the French caf
Had no English words for me
So you may find above the border
A girl with silver rings, I never knew her name
You're bound to lose, she's too much for you
She'll leave you lost one rainy morn, you won't be the same
She laughed each time I asked her name
Made promises to meet again
But her friends down at the French cafe
Had no English words for me

That went on for weeks. Every couple of nights, a new episode. I can't think of his name.

From a distance it looked like she was wearing a teal ball gown, but
when I walked up to her, I saw it was an old green raincoat. It had dark
smears on it that looked like old food or garbage. She looked at me
with tired, stupid eyes and said, "what?" I just looked back at her with
a blank stare. She had bad teeth with a few missing on the bottom and
small sores dotted her ravaged face. I looked to make sure the coast was
clear, put my left hand on her shoulder and started jerking off with my
right. She didn't look surprised or disgusted or...anything. She just
stood there until I was done and asked, "You wanna get some pecan pie?"
It was then I realized she reminded me of my mother. Let me tell you
about my mother....

One week prior, at the behest of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, I'd flown four B-52 sorties over Hanoi. I dropped forty-eight bombs. How many homes I destroyed, how many lives I ended, I'll never know. But in the eyes of my superiors, I had served my country honorably, and I was thusly discharged with such distinction.
sorry... but I think this is horseshit.
You do not go from Viet Nam, to pure civilian, in 1 weeks time... especially during Christmas.
He also would have done a LOT more than 4 missions if he was in country....
No... I was not there... but I live next to what used to be Castle Air Force Base... where B-52s were stationed... and just on my block are 4 Ret. Lt. Col. or above...
and am Ret. Military meself...

wearing a teal ball gown, which appeared to me both regal and
ridiculous. Your brown hair was matted to the right side of your face,
and a galaxy of freckles dusted your shoulders. I'd never seen anything
so beautiful.
And I thought, "Who bitch this is?"

I walked as snow fell like popcorn spilling from the Extra Big Mega-Tub that time that fat girl tripped on the carpet at the local movie theater and she fell on her boobs and we all laughed.
I had decided to kill myself because of the shame. The shame of being a Cowboy-Huey pilot in Viet Nam.
Nixon made me fly over the rice patties, green and wet as boiled asparagus before the hollandaise of violence.
Yes, I'd fly over the rice patties, lasso me a Viet Cong, hogtie'em then brand his ass with a branding iron that said "Enter here" and an arrow that would point to his rice hole.
Humiliated them I did, but now I was the one who was humiliated. I was the one who wanted to kill myself.
So, I walked in the snow and thought dark thoughts, thoughts darker than a dog's gums.
Then I looked up and saw you. And you, you looked at me with your beautiful green eyes. Eyes as green as a lobster's tamale.

Dear Larry,
I'm currently employed as a fluffer for a major political candidate for the Office of the Presidency. I remember our meet vividly, and have thought of you frequently.
I married poorly, and my husband has demonstrated his indifference to me by posting pictures on he Internet of his stuff. I found this to be titillating and disgusting at the same time.
I will not be able to disclose my name or location, but when sexing my husband I frequently recall your face and imagine the bulge in your pants.
I could have spent many a night with you performing the deed, but it was not to be.
Therefore, goodby and best of luck for all future endeavors.

Also, two models of B-52 were used in Linebacker II - B-52D and G. The D carried 84 500 lb bombs (or 42 750lb), the G 27 internally). I dont know how he wound up dropping 48 given those loadouts. Also, the B-52 strikes in Dec. 72 were very precise and civilian losses were minimal. It is wide ly reported that more Vietnamese died as a result of their own air defenses than died due to the BUFFs.
Finally, I know more than a few who flew on those missions and every one was universally proud of what they accomplished. The only sadness or frustration they had was not being turned loose years earlier. They were proud of ending the war on terms relatively favorable to the US and most of all in being directly responsible for bringing hundreds of comrades in arms home. If this guy is genuine, he'd be the very first vet from Linebacker II I've ever met who was suicidal over his involvement. None others were even close.
Sorry, it just doesn't smell right. It read more like a left winger's dystopian view of Vietnam and its veterans than reality. Maybe the rest is dead on but I am not swallowing his supposed reasons for suicidal ideation.

Posted by: ace at October 02, 2015 09:50 PM (dciA+)
I don't think there is one. I am not a printing expert by any means but I am not aware of a printer of intermediate size between "ordinary size" and "poster size". But if you go to printers that cater to conventioners like Kinko's (or whatever they turned into) then you can get posters printed, they are like $50 each which is a rip-off but for a one-off printing it probably isn't too bad. Every time before I go to a conference I always get ads from them wanting me to print my poster there. You can even get it printed on cloth or fabric of some sort which is kinda cool.

Here's mine, which almost aligns with the timeline of the 1972 story (mas five years).
My
story was 1977 or 1978. We were partying in Weymouth, Massachusetts
and I was was hammered. It was a Friday night and I found myself in
some party, in some obscure location, fixated on a stellar Ginger. She
was gorgeous. We talked at length, and she told me she was about to
undergo a biopsy in a hospital on what could possibly be a tumor.
I stupidly asked her if she was concerned. She looked at me as if I was, well, hammered, and said, "Like, yah." I remember being humbled for asking such a stupid question.
We
spent about twenty minutes talking, until my buddies said they were
leaving. I asked her for her phone number which she gave me verbally and chided, "Well if you really want to remember it, you won't have to write it down." Which I didn't and I woke up the next day and didn't have a clue of who she was or where we had been. None of my buddies could remember either.
I was thinking about her this very morning. Forty three years later. I hope she recovered and has enjoyed a great life.

You don't forget people you wished you could have known. You wonder what could have been.
Mine was in college. Had seen the guy in the union at lunch and commented how handsome he was (ok, morons, said something pretty rogue for me to a friend as he was a knock out). An hour later he showed up at the university's health center where I worked and that is how we met a few times.
Totally smitten. Pretty sure it was mutual. One of those locked eyes moments across the room when he walked in that day. Well, I do think it would have led to more. Still remember his eyes (ok, said that). A couple of months later, from the symptoms he was having and reason to come to health center: inoperable cancer. He avoided the hospital I was training at, even though the best in the city and knew I was there. I never saw him again. I could have seen him, basically gone to his address as he had told me to come by sometime before his diagnosis, but I felt it would make it harder for him than me. He died five months later.
Days prior to knowing of his death, I had odd abdominal pain with major symptoms (he died of a rare abdominal cancer). I did not know it but it was the day he died per the obituary I was shown, at random, by a co-worker who knew him. I was inconsolable the entire night, alone. The next day I saw a, don't know how to describe it, a "host" of white butterflies...sounds weird, I know. I read, many years later, that butterflies represent, to many, a symbol of resurrection.
A year later I met my husband who I love very much, had two sons, have had a very happy life. But I will never forget RW. I have never told anyone about this story as no one but a bunch of morons might believe it. xoxo

He speaks of 'flying sorties' and 'dropping bombs'. To my post-Vietnam US military brain, that says 'Pilot' or 'Weapons Officer' (I don't know if they called them 'bombardiers'). Both of those duties were fulfilled by (commissioned) Officers at that time, right? Maybe some USAF/BUFF/Vietnam veteran will read this and chime in with some actual life experience based observations.
The point is if he was an Officer, he wasn't 'discharged'. Minor in terms of words, but fellow veterans will know exactly what I mean.
Also, the timeline seems a little strange. My general understanding is that guys serving in a combatant role were usually taken 'off the line' 1 month or so prior to leaving Vietnam. An enlisted aircrew guy receiving his discharge 1 week after being on ops doesn't sound right.
Additionally, if he was enlisted aircrew, my gut and common sense tells me that squadrons probably deployed together and stayed together. Again, no first hand experience, but a member of a bomber crew that is a part of a squadron...the timeline and some details give me pause.
