IncomingChop.jpgIncoming ChopperAn excellent photo and "memory of being in the field" in Vietnam. This picture shows the talent of our Huey pilots getting into and out of hastily created LZs. You can almost hear the "pop-pop" of the blades.Jun 12, 2009

Dixon6a.jpgMemories are made of this! The 3" reel-to-reel GE brand tape recorder operated on D-cell batteries. Just so happens that everything else in the field operated on D-cell batteries, too! Great way to communicate back home. Still works today!May 23, 2009

Dixon33.jpgTarget! Wrong TargetAs I recall, this was a Caribou just outside of Duc Pho. I saved the clipping all these years. As I recall, the press kinda twisted the story, but it was a very tragic event.

Dixon3a.jpgThe "cunt cap"We used to call these "cunt caps". Now, that always sounded odd and gross to me...but would you believe I made it almost all the way through basic before I realized that was NOT the correct name for the silly things?
The military nomenclature was "Overseas Cap".May 14, 2009

Dixon31.jpgCharles LoveladyCharles Lovelady at Montezuma standing next to the APC we affectionately called "Double-Deuce" on a tank retriever. It has just been hauled back from being either broken down or blown up. At one point, Double-Deuce was driven over a 500-LB. bomb that VCs buried. Driver, another friend, Derwyn Kaiser out of Baltimore, was (as I recall) saved by being blown out of the driver's hatch and had to undergo a long and painful hospital stay and operations. Oddly enough, we met not at Montezuma, but at a hospital down in Saigon as I recall when we were both patients.
