The following photos show Anthony Jecen as he was leaving Vietnam. The first photo shows his friends SSG Murry and Sp4 Herron taking him to the airport. In the final photo, the person shown is a soldier that Jecen first met on his flight to Vietnam; coincidentally, they were on the same airplane going home.
