[> [> Subject: Re: 1968 June Author: Jim "Marty" Martin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:56:19 09/29/00 Fri > > June 20, 1968 - at 4:03 p.m. the Dong Ha combat base main ammo dump took a direct hit of a couple of rounds. We were located next to the dump (NSAD) on the hill. If memory serves me correctly -it blew up for a total of 36 hrs. At 11pm we came out of our bunker, when the word was passed that a ground assault against us was believed to be coming. I thought - how stupid Charlie must be -coming in when everything else was going out! Laid up against a sandbag wall for hours. At one point the compound mutt "Hootch Pooch" got up and ran, and then a piece of shrapnel struck where he had been. I told Sonny Brigman, to put the dog between us, and when he runs - we would run! Funny now - but not then! thanks for listening to the story. marty

A large slab was blown from the bridge and there were VC KIA. There was also a tatical air support bomb dropped. Early June I believe. I think it was called the Newport bridge but am not positive.
