Default use of first 15,000 lb "daisy cutter"..I was there ( my picture )

This picture is of my platoon ( 4th ) of Co. B 2/22(M), 25th Infantry Division, crossing an LZ made by a Commando Vault ( "daisy cutter" ), 15,000 lb. bomb, made on the first day of the Cambodian "incursion on 6 May 1970. This was, I believe, the first use of this bomb in combat. This was to make an LZ for 3/22. More info about this is available at
http://25thaviation.org/history/id734.htm

I am in the center of the picture behind the .50 cal machine gun, in the TC position. To my front left is Lt. Oliver. To my front right is John Nowak. To my rear left is Victor Vecera, with the commo helmet on.
