Gator 297

Ron Cary recently posted on the 4th Inf. Div Website looking for information regarding March '69 in the Polei Kleng/Plei Trap area. I responded to Ron's post regarding a firefight 2/B/1/35 and 2/A/2/8 (Mech) had 6 March '69 along with the reinforcement from 1/A/1/69. I noticed Ron was with a helicopter unit and I mentioned the 21 Nov. '68 helicopter crash that B/1/35 had been the reactionary force that day and to my surprise Ron responded that he was flying "Top Ship." For 30 plus years we had never had contact with others regarding that crash. At a later date Mark Given also posted regarding the 21 Nov. '68 crash. Responding to Mark has helped to bring some meaning to a mission which we knew so little about at the time and for 30 plus years have finally been able to shed some light on bring some closure for all.
