Dale E. Samuelson, Pencil on paper, 1980. "Came into Da Nang and flight was delayed in landing because of rocket attacks, finally landed, stayed the night. Following day took off for An Hoa, nineteen miles southwest, spent two days in the rear filling sandbags, standing watch at night, put up barbed wire, filll more sandbags, stood watch at night, fell into the red mud, got in a fire fight with a rat who stole my apple and baloney sandwich, next day move out to Liberty Bridge with small patrol. It took about a day and a half to get there because the point men kept tripping wires and setting off booby traps; finally got to the bridge and joined my wonderful squad."
