I served with C troop and HHT in 1969,70. I came to C Troop with Capt. Bergeron and served on his track.
I need information who took "Beau" place after he left as we went and pulled security for the 9ers on some hill probably in August 1970 and took a 50 cal with us. Anybody still in country at that time; D trooper;9er; purple gang, ect. that recalls this trip please drop me a line. Also we were being resupplied on a hill one time; either after April fools day; and had to retrieve water blivets that were pushed out of the birds-- great fun.As everyone came to that location we came under fire. Terry Eubanks returned fire with the 50 and I was ammo bearer or scrounger. There was a brother that I believed got hit in the stomach, if anyone remembers any of these times I would like to chat with you. My cell # is 217-341-7020. I am confined at home as I just had the first of two total knee replacements, so I may be a little slow getting to the phone but I would call back then the call would be on me. Hope to be in Indiana this Sept. Hoping to see all. Thanks--Lurch
