The Vietnam War killed thousands during its time; however, friendships were also built during that era. A prime example is the story of two U.S. soldiers who served during the Vietnam war and became the best of friends. However, after the war, they went on with their lives and lost touch.

In 1971, Rick Mueller and Joe Martinez served during the Vietnam war in the navy aboard the U.S.S. White Plains. They were inseparable and were even called “M and M” — Martinez and Mueller.

Five years after they first met, at the time when there was no internet, Mueller tried to reach out to Martinez by calling up anyone in the phone book with the same name but with no success.

Little did Mueller know that Martinez was also in search for him. It was Martinez’s letter that connected them again. Mueller was able to finally contact the Joe Martinez he had been looking for years ago. Finally on that weekend in October 2014, best buds Joe and Rick finally met again.

Undaunted by gender stereotypes, Willis gives the best response and explains how he embraces his son’s choice.

Some people are just born to do the scariest stunts that will terrify normal human beings to death...and actually enjoy it! Spencer Seabrooke from British Columbia certainly proved that he has balls of steel - he slacklined from one cliff to the other, walking 64 meters to reach the end...and at 951 feet!

In this extremely nerve-wracking video, Spencer grunts and shouts as he walks on a rope, covering the gap between North Gully of Squamish's Stawamus Chief Mountain.
