Robin Bartlett still gets choked up when he recalls how his parents met him at Travis Air Force Base, California, when the young infantry officer returned in 1969 after a year in Vietnam.
The other Soldiers on the plane wondered how his parents knew the arrival time and date because they were the only family members there. But the parents of 1st Lt. Robin Bartlett had some pull. His father, Air Force Col. LeRoy Bartlett Jr., and mother, Marjorie Johns-Bartlett, resided in California and they knew their youngest son would return sometime around May 7-9.
âAnd my father and mother met every arriving flight from Vietnam from about May 7-9,â Bartlett said with his voice cracking. âAnd when my plane landed at 11 oâclock at night (May 9), I looked out the window and I saw two people standing on the other side of the fence at the terminal. And I knew it was my parents.â
