I live in Trion, Lafayette Ga. area. I served in India 3/1 in 1970 as a Foward Observer. Medevaced out in June 70, on the way back from one op. Dont know what happened to anyone after that. I know 3 were killed and about 8 of us were wounded that day. First went in country to Hill 55, then to Crowsnest then to India 3/1. Just today found this website. Saw my picture. When I was wounded my seabag was torn apart and all pictures but a very few were taken by some rear pogue. So I am ver ygrateful to see the pics here.
