I do not think this was on Hill 875 but rather on Hill 882. I was on both of them during November. On 875 we did not have any news crews to start. We began the assult on Hill 875 and then I and a dog handler were moved to 882 with the 1/503 and there was a news crew with the unit. I remember one crazy round eye and she was all over the hill during the fire fight. I am amazed she did not get wacked. Anyone remember a crazy Engineer from 10/67 - 3/29/68? Please contact Bill Berry, Chandler, AZ.

@BillSherlene This film footage was not shot by news crews, but by military combat cameramen and was identified by them as Hill 875. Glad you made it out and are here to watch the video!

People who criticise on video clips like this have no understanding of how much offense they give to the veterans who lost close friends .

A group of American army veterans are posting a link on their website to help the people in Queensland Oz affected by floods.

Look up the website for Skysoldiers. Next time you see some low-life criticising them on Youtube tell them where to get off.

He said there was a Medic that also went outside the perimeter to rescue SGT West.

The Lt didn't know if it was a trap, ambush or what. So it was a volunteer deal. Sanders said if that crazy fucker Adams was still alive, he would go. So, Sanders, Adams, the Lt, and three other infantry soldiers, went outside the perimeter and brought Sgt West back.

My old man was there. His name was Dennis Adams. He said he remembered there being a french female reporter there. He was with A company 4th Bat. He was a combat engineer. I asked him about the crazy engineer, he said he didn't know, but he was the guy who went out and got the injured soldier on November 21st. He said PFC Sanders was with him. I have more info. There was six others there to go get Sgt West RTO. The Lt said he couldn't make anyone go get him because they didn't know if it was a
