BN commander

[39mto39g]

Colonel Kimmel came to our uit and asked the LT for volunteers to go out and set up an LZ. The LT came to us and said what he said. I said , I'll go.
We were chopperd to this bald hill in the middle of nowhere and set up camp. The only gun that came with us was a 106 and crew,
We got rocketed, snipped, mortored, and one sapper, although we had no wire for the sapper to go through , he tried to get to the only bunker on the hill, (and failed) The LZ had no real benifit to be there except it was on the edge of some eirie moutains and this long valley that seemed to go on forever.
After three weeks of all night watch and all day patrols, I was choppered out to go to some other crappy area in Vietnam. I (We) had just opened up LZ marry Lou.
Our BN commanders wifes name, He was later killed in VN.
