I WAS KHE SAHN ON THE SOUTHSIDE BACK IN 1968.

GOOD TO HEAR FROM FELLOW PHAN RANGERS....I WAS THERE FROM 1968 TO 1969. WE LANDED THE DAY OF THE TET OFFENSIVE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY DIVERTED OUR BIRD TO OKINAWA UNTIL THE ALL CLEAR WAS GIVEN. ORIGINALLY ASSIGNED TO PANTHER FLIGHT THEN WENT OVER TO HEAVY WEAPONS. MY MORTAR PIT WAS KHE SAHN ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BASE. I THINK IT WAS HOTEL SECTOR. THEY HIT US 2 DAYS BEFORE I LEFT FOR CAM RAHN AND 15 VC WERE KILLED. ONE WE THINK WAS OUR LAUNDRY BOY. WHEN I GOT TO CAM RAHN BAY, AN F-4 HAD CRASHED ON THEIR RUNWAY. IT WAS TOUGH TRYING TO GET OUTTA NAM FOR ME. I ENDED UP AT LANGLEY AFB MUCH TO MY CHARGIN AND GOT AN EARLY OUT. I HAVE RETIRED FROM THE RAILROAD (CSX) AND NOW AM A MINISTER FOR JEHOVAH'S WITNESS. THIS IS MY JOB AND I LOVE IT. THE BIBLE REALLY DOES TELL US WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IN THE FUTURE THOUGH NOT SPECIFICALLY IN ALL INDIVIDUAL CASES. WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL TO LOOK INTO WHAT IT SAYS AND HOW IT AFFECTS YOU. IF YOU LIKE, YOU CAN E-MAIL ME AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS.
