I think we had more Turkey's that anyone else in QuiNhon that year we had other Company's using our messhall for dinner so it was pretty good. Mike 71st Trans. co. 1966

Lai Khe...Home of the 3rd Bde of the Big Red One.I was with the 1st Bde, 1st of the 2nd Inf and we were the "palace guard" while in this base camp. We were on a few days stand down and had a great meal....turkey with all the trimmings! It was a time when a few days without extreme pressure felt good. There were showers to be had, letters to write, time for some uninterupted sleep, a time to think about home. Two days later we would be back on search and destroy missions. The war goes on.

Spent Thanksgiving on USNS Daniel I. Sultan with C Co, 2/3d Infantry (Old Guard), 199th Light Infantry Bde, enroute to Vung Tau and ultimately Long Binhn and the boonies. We dined on Turkey, etc, while trying to keep our metal meal trays from sliding off the table as the Pacific was a little rough that day. Indeed, seas were rough most of the 21 or so day trip. We pulled KP duty in the galley every other day. Never wanted to go on a ship again until my wife made me go on a cruise over 30 years later.
