Conrad,

I think you were there the day we put a team into a small valley just south of that French fort.

We no sooner started to head back and got the call that they were in deep sh*t and needed to be extracted.

We headed back and this was one of the few times we could actually get close to the ground. The elephant grass was about five foot tall and we held a hover and pulled the guys into the ship. While I was hanging out the ship helping guys in, Greg Hahn was on his gun. I hear Stoney Burke tell Lt. Rock that there was another guys up the hill from us with a stobe light and were we going to pick him up also. About that time I heard Greg's gun open up and all hell broke loose.

The guy with the stobe light was in reality an NVA soldier with an AK-47 that was shooting at us. Thank God he wasn't a very good shot and thank God, Greg was better. He eliminated that problem but by the time we got out of there, several of his friends were showing their dislike for us.

He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.
