Jungle Issue Hammocks
Of course they were issued by the North Vietnamese Army,the trick to this is getting them without getting got yourself.They were light and small(about the size of a softball) and fast to put up.Since the sun is directly overhead I assume we are on break to dry our feet(feet in air and drying socks on branch's).William Sadler and Roddy Hopkins(Hoppy) taking it easy.Middle of day the heat soars and we try to get out of it for a few hours.

Stars and Stripes or all the info you need to know.
This was taken at a night defensive position and looks like the Stars and Stripes newspaper just arrived,notice it's in 3 pieces now.From left to right Philip Baker,William Sadler,Selah Montgomery and Mike Walsh.When it gets darker they will stretch out the sleeping hootch.Stars and Stripes was the official newspaper of all US Forces.If it wasn't in there it didn't happen.

Christmas Shorts 1969
Jerry Argo(Charlotte,NC) received a pair of Christmas shorts(with little faces of Santa) from his wife back home.I had to get him in a photo with them on because shortly after that they were torn into cleaning rags and we all cleaned our weapons.So much for the Christmas spirit.December 1969.Jerry still lives in Charlotte and has worked for Duke Power Co for many years.

Shortimers Stroll
Ten days before I was to rotate home I was sent to the rear.I was a oldtimer and all oldtimers do are take showers,go to the beach,take shower,eat and go back to beach,take shower,drink some beer,take shower.Left Vietnam Sept 11,1970 on a American Airlines bound for Japan and McCord Air Force Base,Tacoma,Washington.I spent a full tour with Delta Company"Black Death"3/21st 196th Light Infantry Brigade 23rd Infantry Division Vietnam.I was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge,Bronze Star with"V"Device,and Purple Heart.I went over there to fight the battle for Mom,the USA and apple pie but after I got there the fight changed to a battle for Sadler,Gatewood,Baker,and everyone else who was left standing near me.I fought for them and they fought for me.When you are put in this position friends are about all you got.Not all of us made it back and some of us came back in pretty bad shape.I am proud that I served and hope that I did a good job.I hope you have enjoyed the photo's and maybe even learned something for them.My hat goes off now to all the guys who supported me,without you guys working your ass off,my ass would have been left dangling.From guys loading ammo at Danang,to the guys fueling F-4's off the coast and to the guys training Air Crews,"Thanks Brothers, couldn't have done it without ya"
