>> > >served in vietnam 1969 1970
first place was dak to with 299th combat engineers.our job was to keep rt.512 open from Dak To to
ben het.supplies had been cut off because charlie had set mines from old baldie to ben het. we almost got to the gates of Ben Het, when all hell broke lose. We got to the curve and Charlie ambushed us naturally, and ARVN left us there. Do you have any reconlations of this and about what month and date of this incident? I was with 299th Combat Engineers. I need this information because i need it for the VA to prove that I suffer from PTSD. I'm a two-tour Vietnam veteran and can't remember at what time this event took place. Hoping you can help me with this matter.

Brothers of Love, Nam
