I have an interest in finding out more about a specific firefight that took place on 3MAR69 in Plei Trap Valley. This particular firefight involved A-3-8, 4th I.D. My brother was in A-3-8, he recieved the Silver Star posthumously for his actions that day. I have the after action report but still have some questions, might you have something you could add?

My sister was 6, brother was 2 and I was 5. My mother was a German citizen waiting in Aschaffenburg Germany while my father was doing his duty in Dau Tieng with the 65th Engineers. My mother , sister, brother a I moved to Tacoma Washington soon after due to my fathers recomendations to my mother while he was in Vietnam as he trained at FT. Lewis before being sent. I am proud to be the first generation American on my moms side as I was Born at Ft. Leonardwood Misssouri. Being here in Washington gives me a daily solice in knowing that my father saw my home as the paradise that it is. I'm sure he knew that his traits would be passed on with regards to fishing for Salmon and Steelhead for which I have had a passion for for many years. Thank you dad, I always catch the first one for you!

I had only been in country for about 45 days. I was wounded in that battle. I only knew Lorrie for a short time and am not sure how he was killed. It was a hard fight and we lost a lot of good people. Our corpman was killed and got the medal of honor.Almost half of my crew was hurt. The sappers over ran gun 7 and we were able to stop them at gun 6. The sappers also hit on the oppsite side of the gun line and were stopped with a charge up the gun line led by our Co. No one ran that night. We held and fought them to a stand still even thouogh we were out numbered. I heard that we were hit with several companies and we fought them to a stand still. I heard this after I got out of the hospitol. There was a good artical in "Viet Nam " magizne about the fight. James Web also describes the battle in his book, Fields of Fire.

MANY OF THE HOURS ON THE FLIGHT BACK TO THE STATES WERE SPENT THINKING ABOUT THE YEAR THAT HAD JUST ENDED, THE PEOPLE AND PLACES. I WAS NOT A FAVORITE OF MANY OF THE OLDER LIFERS BECAUSE OF MY SOCIAL/POLITICAL VIEWS, BUT I WAS A GOOD TROOPER IN THE FIELD. I THINK I WAS PUT IN FOR E-5 ON 3 OCCASIONS BUT IT WAS NEVER APPROVED, IT NEVER GOT PAST THE ORDERLY ROOM. WHEN I KNEW I WANTED TO SPEND MY LAST 6 MONTHS IN THE ARMY IN NAM AND NOT STATESIDE I INQUIRED ABOUT EXTENDING AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS FOR RA's ONLY AND ALL I COULD DO WAS SIGNUP FOR ANOTHER YEAR AND THEN I COULD SPEND THE NEXT 18 MONTHS IN NAM. I WAS NOT ABOUT TO DO THAT SO I ASKED IF I COULD COME BACK FOR MY LAST 6 MONTHS AS A DOOR GUNNER AND AGAIN WAS TOLD NO. I WANTED TO LEAVE, BUT I DIDN'T, THAT'S STILL THE THING I REMEMBER MOST ABOUT THAT DAY. I'M STILL SORRY ABOUT LEAVING.

We were part of "Vietnamized" artillery unit, half American and half Vietnamese. Theft was rampant. The Vietnamese were ordered off the FSB when 105 mm howitzers were being levelled at each other. So much for November "Vietnamization." In January we ended up turning our howitzers over to the same Vietnamese from Bu Dop, as President Nixon disbanded the 2nd Battalion, 13th Field Artillery for redeployment to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Only the colors left country. The guys were reassigned to serve out their 365 days. Thanksgiving through New Years is simply a blur thirty-one years later. We were marking time and trying to stay alive, even though we knew we were giving up our howitzers.

[> [> Subject: Re: 1969 CHRISTMAS Author: Stanley E. Hamby [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:54:39 05/01/00 Mon Christmas '69' there were 5 guys killed by VC women on the road between FSB Patton and TrungLap, with one of our own Claymores. All they were doing is sweeping the road for mines. I pray for their families, but can't remember who they were?

[> [> Subject: Re: 1969 CHRISTMAS Author: Ben Jones [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:08:31 09/26/00 Tue > > the operation was to clear the road to the village of Trung Lap so the acting S-5 (me) could bring the chaplain and others to the village to give Christmas presents to the families of the Vietnamese military family members (soap, clothes, etc). By the way, this was during a declared cease fire. As the lead platton closed into the front gates, a claymore was set off killing several and wounding others. The claymore was not to my knowledge one of ours - but a Chicom claymore. I called for medevac and the responding helicopter was one being used by reporters. I could not believe it but the reporters were more interested in the fact the girls responsible were being questioned "roughly" by the Vietnamese soldiers who had caught them. They did not seem interested in the the fact U.S. soldiers were laying on the ground dead and wounded. I went bonkers. Their chopper was "borrowed" to dust off the wounded along with a regular dustoff that arrived a short time later. I am sorry, but I do not know the names of the soldiers, in that I had only been with the Battalion for several days prior to the incident. One week later I assumed command of Delta company, 2/14th Infantry, 25th Division.

We were in the bush and had a hot meal flown out to us on Christmas Day. It was a great meal everything considering. The next day, one of the best guys in our outfit was killed in action. It is hard to remember Christmas of 69 without thoughts of him included. A very sad day indeed.

I remember Christmas in Vietnam as another working day except when we were allowed to go to see the Bob Hope Christmas show. I remember spending lots of nights in the bunkers.

Novakovic Subject: Christmas, 1969 Our artillery battery road marched to Phouc Vinh to support the First Cav in late December, 1969. On Christmas Eve morning we were rocketed at dawn just as I was lacing up my jungle boots. I raced to the duty howitzer and joined a couple guys firing a counter-battery fire at a pre-selected location. The other five pieces soon joined in. The unit expended 150 rounds in five minutes before a cease fire was ordered. The First Cav was impressed at the sheer volume of firepower delivered by a II Field Forces artillery unit, we were told by our battalion commander.
