Great tribute!

I was with Lima, 3/26, in Arizona Territory for Operation Taylor Common in Feb 1969. We went out with 243 men, returned three weeks later with 90 to 95. Most of the casualties were wounded, malaria or dysentery, but we did have about 40 KIA.

Good men, good friends.

Welcome home and thanks for your service, Bwana! Taylor Common was just before I got in country. We went from ops in Arizona to Pipestone Canyon - the clear and defoliate op in Gonoy Island. Didn't lose too many there but the survivors are Agent Orange veterans.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
