Tour 365 was a magazine-sized booklet that departing soldiers were given as they boarded their homeward-bound Freedom Bird.
I've scanned all the pages of my copy, the Winter 1968 edition, and they are listed below. As with The Roadrunner, for the sake of clarity, the scans are fairly large and will take a bit of time to download, so please be patient.
