While their husbands were stationed together in Vietnam in 1968, Sue was in Syracuse, N.Y., and Lynn was in Universal City, Texas. They supported each other from afar, while taking care of their kids and holding down the fort at home. “Since then, we’ve been hanging out together," Sue said."Our kids are all bonded to each other, and it’s very nice."
Jim would’ve not only thought it was funny, Lynn said, but it was also the type of thing he would've done.
