War is hell, but sometimes we have to make the best of a bad situation, and if you get a small window for rest and relazation, then take it and use it to the hilt.

We are not sure who to give the credit to, but we assume it is The Times-News of Nephi, Utah. During the Viet Nam War, the military protocol was to send a short communication to the soldiers hometown newspaper, to inform the local's of Boot Camp graduation or  re-assignment of the soldier or Airman without breaching security. We recently discovered  these two photos and the short broadcast of the R&R of Sergeant Weston A. Jones of Nephi, Utah before his journey to the war in the Orient. The paper article shows it as Oct. 10, 1968. As the two individuals in the middle may not yet be de-classified, we have omitted showing them. According to Wes, he believes the Airman on the left is Lawrence Jones, of  Salt Lake City, Utah as both had previously been stationed at Pope Air Force Base. The curvy and slicked back hair is local stud Weston Jones in civilian clothes, and in the group photo, Wes is on the right.
