366 TFW GUNFIGHTERS "1972 DA NANG IS ALL RIGHT" KEY CHAIN
Ever wonder why these keychains have the date, '1972', on the back? Here is the explanation as told by one who was there.
The story behind them is this: When we were in the Easter Offensive, things were pretty hectic, and harsh. We started a mantra when things were bad, of saying "Danang is ALL right." (emphasis on ALL). When we were pulling out for the move to Takhli, somehow, someone had these key chains made and we were handed one as we got on the C-130. I don't think there could have been more than a couple of hundred handed out, perhaps more, but purely a morale boost. You had to have been there to be in on the joke. The reason they only have 1972 on them is, that was a reminder of the biggest offensive of the war, and we survived.
