TED Posted March 31, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 31, 2013 This is my father's "Short Timer Stick" that he brought back from Vietnam. (Anthony Doellman 126th Supply and Service Illinois National Guard, Chu Lai RVN 1968-1969) These are canes that were made at Con Tien Prison Camp and sold to the soldiers who where at the end of their deployment. My father paid $26 for this in the last month of his deployment in 1969. The point was to show of that they were about to go home. When one soldier with one passed another soldier with one they would wave them in the air and shout out to each other how many days they had left of their deployment.
