Worst Moment Losing trail vehicle and an infantry sergeant to command detonated mine. Not being awarded CIB because I was assigned out of my infantry MOS. Assigned to the unit outside of my primary MOS of 11F while receiving a reenlistment bonus. I was the only infantryman in the Battery. All attempts to be transferred to an infantry unit was either not forwarded, or denied by the parent unit. Attached to the First Infantry Division (Big Red One) until they were rotated back to the USA. Spent the remainder of my tour attached to the First Cavalry Division at Fire Support Base Buttons (Song Be).

Other Memories Meeting wife in Hawaii for R&R. Meeting John Henry Jefferson again while on a FB with the "Big Red One" outside of Lai khe. Surviving close calls from rocket attacks at Lai khe and Song Be (REAL CLOSE HITS). Being wounded three times by "friendly fire".
