These photos were taken by me in Vietnam. Most are in the field. Again most are old and a little faded. Takes a minute to load-photo intense. |
 Waiting at Eagle Beach pad for birds to the bush. |  My normal load |
 Me and Platoon Sgt, SSG Charles Factor, ready to head out |
Carroll Raymer, KIA 8-8-70, relaxing on a mat in abandoned house. |
Raymer on top of a ridge. |  In the bush, one of several guys in the platoon. |
 Another trooper coming up the hill, hard work, tough going. |  Yet another platoon member fighting his way uphill, I think that was SP4 Robert "Zero" Nilla. |
 Worn out after plowing thru jungles all day, Sgt Bruce Mitchell takes a break... |  What my rucksack looked like after resupply. Everyone cares extra M-60 ammo. |
 On top of the ridge, taking a break. We had been resupplied. Note the artillery powder tube, they clean them out and fill with water to drop thru trees. |  One of many camps we would use during daytime, waiting for resupply choppers. |
 Sgt John Fako, KIA Oct 70 and SP4 Robert "Zero" Nilla, in mountains near FSB Rakkasan. |  Sometimes the copters could not land so they dropped supplies. (Small square at top is case of C-rations - note troopers on skids) |
 CH-47 Chinook hauling supplies to Firebase Rakkasan |  A little card game to relax the troops. Sgt Bruce Mitchell on left. |
 Reading mail from home. SP4 John "Whimpy" Weiland, my RTO on left. Note nice job arty does on trees.. |  Sometimes the guys took the time to dig small holes for protection. Sgt Jimmy Latham in background. |
 You took baths when and where you could. |  Taking a break to catch up on letters home.. |
 Just relaxing and looking at the view. |  Looking out across the mountains.. |
 Hot coffee with a little hot chocolate is always great at anytime. SP4 Robert Swanson on right. |
