Dan (above) had what I would consider a flashback. I have never had one of those, a sort of out-of-body...
Very nice! My Army Brigade in Vietnam was on loan to the 3rd Marine Division and I was able to get a Camillus made Kabar. The leather grip was blackened, and the leather sheath was black also. I left...
Nickname was Big Al, I guess because I was 6'3" and my last name is Allen.
I wish I still had a 32" waist.:)

Camp Red Devil, and Quang Tri Combat Base.
The best meal I had was at the...
We were in the old wood barracks on one of the last company streets before the back gate to Fountain. Our motor pool was the last, or maybe second to last, one before the gate.
Too darn cold for a...
Nick - the Fifth Division website has extensive records relating to Lam Son 719. Glancing thru the Combat After Action Report there are numerous references to 3-5, the entry for 11 Feb has D/3-5...
