> >Thanksgiving 1969 at LZ Beaver

I spent T-day 69 at LZ Beaver in the Central Highlands with D Co, 1/22, 4th Inf. Div. We had a mess tent on the firebase, and they had plenty of hot food. Everybody was able to go back and get seconds and thirds all afternoon and evening. I was just glad I wasn't on K.P.! It was also the day I first ate cucumber - they had a bunch of it sliced up and it looked so cool I decided to try some - and liked it. We stayed at that firebase from late October until Dec 27th.

> >I was somewhere in War Zone C of III Corps, at a FSB in Bu Dop. 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.
