MAR or APR67 the 101st is operating around Duc Pho. My company is supposed to move up this hill where there's a deserted SF camp at the top. Was too easy to drop us off on top. Just before we get to the top, somebody hits a mine. Seems we're in the middle of a mine field. Someone trips another one before the word gets out. We freeze, and start going back EXACTLY the way we came. When we get out, we have 2 dead and 4 wounded. A company from the 326th ENG have to come up and clear the mine field. A tedious, nerve-wracking job. Them boys definately earned their $65 Combat Pay. I didn't envy them a bit.
