A pact between friends

In December 1967, four of us privates who had become close friends pledged to make it through the war with our lives. To the best of my knowledge, each of us did.

From left to right: Richard Welch (green beret), John Issel (pathfinders), Rodney Eng (509th Airborne & 82nd Airborne) and Wilford Mendez.
