I did three tours in Vietnam. We ate C-Rations 3 meals a day, 7 days a
week, except for the meal they flew up to us from Danang on Sundays and
holidays. Personally, I liked the Ham & Lima Beans. Everyone else
hated that particular meal, so I could always get two Ham & Lima Beans
for one of anything else. The cases of meals were not marked, so you
took what you got and found out what it was when you opened the box.

I see Ham & Lima Beans in the store. Nalleys makes it. It's too salty
for me in my advanced years (doctors, you know), but for some reason I
think to myself when I pass it, "flashback in a can!"

One more little story this reminds me of. We had a landing zone we
kept cleared just for the helicopter with our weekly hot meal. One day
we heard the helicopter coming on an odd day. So we all ran up to the
LZ just like we always did expecting a hot meal. The helicopter landed
and out the side door the gunner dumped a small crate. Off goes the
chopper and now the Lieutenant is busy with a hammer and crowbar
opening up the crate.

Can you guess what the crate contained?
