Danny_-John_Wayne-_Fort.jpg46 years earlier...Not much change, eh?
The FDO wouldn't wear his .45cal, so when we moved, I usually did. Other times, it set on the FADAC if someone wasn't wanted in the FDC. So, it was handy to have around. It sent a message.Dec 30, 2013

SG-30.JPGLZ Meade fire missionsMore firing by "A" Battery just before leaving LZ Meade. When it was not so dusty, we could actually see the South China Sea from this LZ.Dec 13, 2013

SG-29.JPGHigh Angle fire at LZ MeadeSmoke, fire and destruction! The gun crew is firing a high-angle mission. Conditions were quite smoky. Not a very pretty LZ.Dec 13, 2013

SG-25.JPGLZ Meade"A" Battery just arriving by "shithook" (Chinook) on LZ Meade. We had just left the comparable "luxury" (?) of LZ English. LZ Meade was dusty, dirty, and worst of all, rocky. Could not fill a sandbag...too hard to dig. Apparently we were not the first unit to occupy the hill as there was a lot of stuff left from previous tenants. No ID's on the guys in the photo.Dec 13, 2013

SG-26.JPGLZ MeadeWhat would we have done without the Chinook? This one found a nice level place to park!Dec 13, 2013

SG-27.JPGRe-visiting Iwo Jima?The FDC crew was attempting to be clever in duplicating the flag-raising on Iwo Jima. It was actually the raising of a R-292 antenna. Can't communicate without it. Smiling Greg Malnar on the left leading the event. Great place for a sniper on the hill behind. We did not stay there long enough for anyone to figure that out thankfully.Dec 13, 2013

SG-22.JPGBig guns on LZ PonyOn LZ Pony, we had the pleasurable company of a 175mm gun and an 8" howitzer. Don't know who they belonged to, however. Always a thrill to hear and feel a 175mm gun fire. We were at this LZ for only a few days. I do not recall any fire missions. We convoyed up to Phu Cat AFB, loaded up on C-130s and flew to Kontum.Dec 13, 2013
