I arrived in Vietnam in January '66 and in November '66 was assigned to Golf company 2/1 as a Scout Observer for my parent battery, Bravo 1/11. Last until May '67 and then finally got out of the hospital (that same WWII temporary hospital at Camp Pendleton) in December '67.
You were with Golf 2/1? I went over with 2/1, assigned to H&S company, but operated with both Golf 2/1 and Foxtrot on the Daggerthrust operations, and was with Golf on the landing in Harvest Moon. We had to make our way through VC lines at midnight to get back to where the rest of the Battalion would be landed. The first wave with Fox was decimated, They landed us in the second wave at another LZ. You were probably with us from New York-on... Perhaps you were up at Cam Lo when we were hit with mortars and nearly overrun on June 1st. It’s a small world. Had dinner and drinks and a great time going over old operations with Tom Isenburg at The reunion in Reno 15 or more years back. Haven’t been able to get to one since. If you don’t mind, private mail me your name and location... Semper Fi, Mike
