Interview #168: SFRevu Interview, Entry #14

Ernest Lilley

You served in Vietnam, and I was wondering how you felt about it?

Robert Jordan

I’d say, ambivalent. I wouldn’t say, I was glad that I went…but it was something I could not have done otherwise without being someone other than I was.

Ernest Lilley

Where were you stationed and what did you do?

Robert Jordan

I was a gunner in Hueys. I was in Saigon in the beginning, and then out of Bien Hoa, and we flew everywhere. Zone C, The [Phu Rieng] Rubber Plantation, down to Cu Chi in the delta, over to Nui Ba Dinh, Black Virgin Mountain, and we were flying into Cambodia long before the “Parrot’s Beak”. (misspellings are mine, feel free to correct me - Ern)
