> > 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?

Hell, they even flew out a turkey dinner in the metal cans ... of course, it was cold, but hey, it beat the can of Ham and mothers I may have had to eat. Later that day, we returned to LZ Uplift. Whoopie! Welcome HOme brothers! Ken

> >I was in recovery at the 85th Med having first been medivac from Dak To to the 71st Evac and operated on. A Redcross lady came through the ward offering what assistance she could. She handed me a radio and when we turned it on Hanoi Hanna was describing how the NVA just destroyed the Dak To base killing most of the US forces there. Of course I knew it wasn't true, although they did hit us pretty hard, but I wondered what other US forces listening were thinking.
