As the blog manager, I will be giving you access to as much of Army dental history as possible. It will be a work in progress, since I am pretty slow at getting information prepared. But the value would be so much greater, if you send your rememberances of places, events, equipment, people.
This is intended to be informational. I intend to recognize that different people hold different perceptions. When I was gathering information from dental veterans of the Vietnam era, I came to the realization that there were different Vietnams - depending on whether your vantage point was Saigon or Khe Sanh, 1965 or 1969, assigned to logistic area support or tactical unit support. Each person's report was not wrong or right, but different. I will resist trying to justify differences.
