I was in C/4/503 173rd after B/1.503 was deactivated. April of 1971. Had plenty of bro's who went to delta that you may have known. Chris pasini, mark peterson, Steve Baker , JJ Johnson, Schultz ,Al Truax, and a guy named Pike and others. Your had Captain Ranger, a West Pointer as your CO. . Also , I know John Crawford , Sandaval, and Wayne Shaw in your company.
I don't remember the soldiers name at 5:36 on the left. We was on an operation (I believe) in Oct. 1970. I was in the 173rd Airborne, Co.D 4th Bn., 503 Inf.. if that is any help. We were near Bong Son or maybe FhuCat airforce base.
@karlchebator Thanks for responding. It was definitely the right place and the right time. I think he got over there in April 1970, but he was third battalion. Looks like it could be him but there's no real way of knowing. Anyway thank you for your service and for the video.
@brihj I knew a lot of guys from E Company mortars, but I don't have any pictures. Cameras were not as abundant as they are now. They were very rare. The only ones who had them were REMFs who were at LZ English when the resupply came in. By the time the line companies rotated through, a different one every week, everthing was gone. I was in the field well over 80% of the time.
nt many men women or children shook your hands when you came back bt if i was able to go bac in time id find a way to shake every soldier,sailor, and airmens hand who came back. but may i ask what this song is
Ho chi Minh, Vietnam's communist founder, is a disguting TRAITOR and MURDERER. He was a member of the Third Communist International established in 1919 by Lenin. He gave up Paracel & Spratly archipelagos with large oil resources to Red China. He even ordered to murder his own mistress named Nong thi Xuan when she threatened to disclose her sexual relationship with him since that would destroy his image as a "Father" of Vietnam who "sacrifices" his whole life for Vietnam revolution.
All The Way Brother. I fly the 173rd flag on my Harley on Veterans day. Isn't it strange that something that happened over relatively a short period of time has such an impact on you all the rest of your life? I needed syke help when I returned but never got it. Now they understand better.
Bong Song and Phu Cat were 40 KM apart.
