Thanks,, I think,,
There was only one instance where I can connect to the BS, On one of our nightly ambushes we collected an NVA prisoner, I think a Major, I was later told he flipped and was giving lots of info.
The Arcom w/V was for the day I was hit.
The rest??
I found them in my 201 file when I rotated back home.
No award ceremonies were held and none ask for. :munchin

Despite the controversy over the Vietnam War many still went and died for what they believed in.
Thank you to all who served.
I was in D Co,4th Bn 47 Inf, 9ID. Mobile Riverine Force 68 to 69. We Took heavy casualties. Company Commander and RTO shot in an ambush. My Platoon Leader wounded 5 times. Our next Platoon Leader wounded 3 times. My Platoon Sgt drowned. My squad leader stepped on a grenade, booby trap. When I became squad leader of 10 men every day, I was an E-4. I was wounded 3 times. Medics just patch you up and send you back to your Infantry unit.
Life in a Infantry unit was the ultimate survival game, lol.
Personally I have always thought that our country had more than one greatest generation. I was fortunate to have served with a lot of Vietnam veterans.
