This is a picture outside the Comm. plt. tent at An
Hoa. Just after Maui Peak in mid October "68". We were stuck up on Charlie
Ridge because of a Typhoon. No re-supply for about 12 or so days. The meal
du jour was ketsup soup and rain water.
They tried to air drop supplies but missed and the dinks got it all. Any way
the line up is L-R Al Clarke, Chuck Shimkus, Larry Fuller,Yours truly,
Miller(I forget the first name). 3 days later we got ambushed at night near
Dodge City and I was on My way home.
