Aden
Come to the beautiful Aden where the people are very friendly and the weather is fantastic
My Story
In 1965 I was sent Aden to assist with helping to put down the uprising that was taking there we landed there around 11.3o at night not knowing what to expect ,we were met at the airport runway by one of our camouflage vehicles and taken to our camp ,in the morning we were surprise to see what a desolate place it was we were stationed a little distant outside the town we witness our first sandstorm then we had to get accustom to some birds the size of vultures who would swoop down on our plates for food .in the day it was very hot in the day and very cold at night .At our checkpoint we had to stop and search some people for weapons on our off days we visited the town in groups for safety reasons to do our shopping
