The Vietnam War Re-visited

[matt45]

God, looking at the rucks and ammo makes my shoulders hurt again all over. 
     The 60 worked good until the receiver got loose, and then the 'pig' earned her name.  Double feeding B***H.  The part I hated was having to get up my haunches to work that particular jam out.  The 240 is heavier, but more reliable.

Two Flints Welcome Home brother. Came across your pictures here doing my usual Google search about the 4th ID. Spent my time with D Co. 3/8th 4th Infantry Oct.68-Oct.69. Great pictures

If by chance your on Face Book let me know and I will bring you into our Ivy Dragoon page. Lots of brothers there, some you may have even served with. Send me an e-mail if you wish.

Welcome Home again

Wher all were you stationed. My family just got back from a visit to Nam last week and I might have some modern pictures of the places you went, especially if you were in central Vietnam.

As a "grunt" I was in the Central Highlands in the area of Dak-To and sometimes near Pleiku; our main camp HQ was Camp Enari in the Central Highlands.  

We had to evacuate a forward fire base on Hill #25 and because I couldn't carry all of my personal gear with me, I stored my 8mm movie camera wrapped in empty plastic sandbags in an empty ammo box and buried them on Hill 25.  We were told we would return to Hill #25, but we never did . . . and my movie camera is still there!

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your service! (In an unusual situation for me...) Words fail me.
