monkey. |
Lt. Lepak, Ass't. Sec Nav
Shillito. Dog and Pony show. It must haver been the last day or the first day
of the month. Visitors didn't pay taxes for earnings during a month they spent
any time in a combat zone. Hence most inspections/ visits occurred on the last
day of one month and the first day of the next month. Therefore: two months
worth of "no taxes." |
Lt. Lepak. Late summer 1969,
