I was there!! It was a very sad time for all in our platoon, Of the 25 in the platoon only 5 of us made it back. We lost 10 men in a booby trapped building, then we lost my best friend jake in an American airstrike.. The rest died in a hectic firefight in an abandoned village, this included the sergent who was a tough man who did not deserve to die like he did (Point blank in the head with an M16) It was a tough time out there and I am glad I made it back but I still live with the memories................
