Vietnam era vet[edit]

While Ms Griffin may have served during the Vietnam Era, her vague (unknown) year of birth (perhaps 1955) puts her at age 19 in 1974. We have no verification as to what military service she actually has. With this in mind, listing BLP as a American Military Personnel of the Vietnam War is not a proper classification.--S.

ALSO, US troop levels in Vietnam had dropped to 50 -- fifty -- in 1973. http://www.americanwarlibrary.com/vietnam/vwatl.htm --S. Rich (talk) 19:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
