I saw that pic
full size it is very strong with emotion of the time
The story I got on your Machete is:
The Guy my buddy got it from new him from a GMC Dealer here in Orlando
He did 4 tours in Nam and was part of a helicopter crew
He relayed a story or how they would fly out to pic up cases of beer and upon returning they would stash a couple in the jungle outside the camp. Then they would sneak out in the night and retrieve them.I guess the machete came in handy for retrieving their stash as well as clearing LZs picture that
