> > Another exciting day at Dak To...a few incomings (122mm) in the morning, but around 1700hrs as I was coming off perimeter guard and heading for the cook's tent, a truck came around the tent and almost hit me. Just as I started to yell at the driver the first of about 70 to 75 incoming rounds landed on the other side of the truck. A piece of shrapnel went through my boot, but if that truck hadn't come along that round would have landed right on me. Three cooks in the tent were wounded. Remember?
