Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I fought in Vietnam longer than I had to. I was injured really bad one time and Colleen was the one who found me and helped fix me up. She really worried over me, but I returned to fight somemore. I found out I had a son and took him back to the States with me. Colleen later visited me and my family, but she was a tortured soul and needed help I couldn't give her.
2. Getting uprooted from my practice was the worst thing that could happen. My wife started seeing other men, and then wanted a divorce. And you can't find any decent golf courses here, snipers keep picking off my birdies. The only decent thing about Vietnam was meeting Colleen. Yes, I too loved her, but it just wasn't the right time I guess.
3. I met this Vietnam vet named Boonie who had lost his leg. I helped him with his rehabilitation and we eventually fell in love and married. Later we adopted his friend's daughter, Karen.
4. I was a Red Cross worker who went to Vietnam to help the guys. Unfortunately, I tried to help out one guy at a firebase too zealously and got pregnant. I really liked Boonie, and he offered to marry me when I was in trouble even though it wasn't his responsibility. My subsequent abortion really made Colleen angry with me.
5. I got this woman at China Beach pregnant while I was in Vietnam. We had plans, but then I was injured and that was that. This teenager came to interview me years later. She wanted to know all about that woman. It was her daughter, and my daughter.
6. I was a nurse at the 510th Evac. I was supposed to go home, but I couldn't do it. I fell for several guys while I was in Vietnam, a couple of doctors, a pilot. Later, after I returned to the world, I had a hard time adjusting. I didn't fit in anywhere. I met a nice man and married, but it wasn't until after that that I sought counseling.
7. I originally met Beckett when I came to the GRU to look for my cousin. He helped me get a job on the base and eventually we fell in love. He even took me to the prom.
8. I came to China Beach and they put me on all kinds of temporary duty. I was the DJ, I worked in the motor pool, and due to a military snafu, I even commanded a squad of men in combat. I like to sing, but I tried my hand at stand-up comedy after the war.
9. I worked for K.C. in her beauty parlor, but I did a lot of jobs on the base. I was suspected of being VC and causing Frankie's injury, but Holly stood by me.
10. When I first saw Colleen on the beach, I was blown away. I know she was a little bit older than me, but who cares. I was a medic and she was a nurse so we had things in common. She even went to the prom with me.
