I think I can afford to go to San Antonio, that,s great you,re meeting there. That is true that we get snapshots of the action. When I came back from Nam there was a time I didn,t want to remember anything. A few years later I decided that I had to take the bull by the horns, so I started writing everything down.,there was no internet back then . The more I wrote, the more I remembered. That was in the 70s so it,s been over 30 some years. With the Internet everything has accelerated, I have written to others from other units like 1/8 Cav to get their point of view.
When I got to LZ Pony, Lt Welch told me there was another guy from Texas there, and that,s where I met Pete Tovar. Were you there at LZ Pony when we left for Battle of Tam Quan? Man there,s alot of stories. Take care.
