On lz 77 I was in a bunker with a guy we called Wig. Heard a noise and shined a light to discover a viper crawling down the steps. I said,"Kill it Wig!" He proceeded to grab his '16. " Don't shoot it!"
So he killed it with the end of his weapon and filled his barrel with mud. He pulled first watch so he could clean his rifle.
Another lz with rats as big as cats living there because the ARVNs threw their garbage in the wire. Mosquitos so big they could carrry you off. C-ration stews in steel pots. Stealing c-4 from supply for cooking.
Hot beer, hot pop and tropical chocolate. Leeches that dyed your pant legs red. The best friends you would ever have. A reunion after 32 years proved it. To quote a friend, "It's like the 32 years never happened.
We shared memories, pains, ailments and lots of laughter. Vets always remember the good stuff too. 252 bmoles63@hotmail.com <bmoles63@hotmail.com>
