A Day......To Kick Back......To Play Our Few Day's Off Scott and Clancy caught playing cards....We had been in the bush for about a month. We were trying hard to relax and have some time away from the fighting. I guess "Charlie" and his cousin "Charles" would not have it. About midnight the hill came alive....those little guys chose to.....attack......and die.... |

 The Lieutenant, LT. was what we all called him. He's holding my SKS chichom 56. Most 1st Lt.'s know nothing about fighting in Nam.....most die quick....this Lt. had it all packed.....he went straight to the Squad Leaders .....on decision making....until he had enough time in the bush.....so as not to get anyone killed....... |
 Dave is holding the .45....SUPERMAN is sitting.....Red, well he's just being Red. The sign says it all.....Superman's claim to fame came when he took a glancing round off his flack jacket. He hit the ground....came backup...Screaming and yelling just like a very mad grunt would do.....later after the fire fight was over....all he had was a huge bruise on his shoulder....hence superman was born..... |
 There was no fun in Nam....only fear....This is myself. Every night I have nightmares....of things i could not control, wounded men i could save or help and everynight is the same..... I felt safer in Nam with my grunts than i do in my own bed in a country....I would have been proud to die for....Freedom is not "FREE" ... Again i'll say "Please Save A Veteran Today".......Help any way you can........ |
