Default 33 years ago today

I was lying in the 6th CC in Cam Ranh Bay recovering from my wound. That night NVA Sappers crossed the one strand of Concentina on the beach and began satchel charging the hospital. If I remember correctly there was like 2 or 3 killed and 98 of us recieved Purple Heart number 2 or more. I was lucky and not one of them. It was another "helluva night".

One of the reasons I remember it so well..........it's my birthday!

Happy Birthday from Uncle Ho!
